Myth

Houseflies have a lifespan of 24 hours

Lifespans in the animal kingdom, even within a species, can vary widely. Our average lifespan currently ranges from about 49 years in Swaziland to about 82 years in Japan. The world average, in 2010 was 67.2 years. House pets usually have a shorter life span. The oldest dogs cracked 29 years, and the oldest cat broke 38 years.

While our unwanted buzzing guests, the common houseflies, don’t average nearly as long a lifespan as ours, they can live up to a month. This myth probably mistakes the housefly for the mayfly, which, depending on the species, may have a lifespan between 5 minutes and 24 hours. Time really does fly for mayflies!
