Because the female does not feed during this time, she tries to fatten herself beforehand, and a species of 5 cm (2.0 in) has been observed to eat more than 100 flies during that time in the laboratory. [4] The Solifugae undergo a number of stages including, egg, postembryo, 9–10 nymphal instars, and adults. [20]
Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.
As of January 2023, the World Solifugae Catalog accepts the following ten genera: Cordobulgida Mello-Leitão, 1938 Curanahuel Botero-Trujillo, 2019 Gaucha Mello-Leitão, 1924 Gauchella Mello-Leitão, 1937 Metacleobis Roewer, 1934 Mummucia Simon, 1879 Mummucina Roewer, 1934 Mummucipes Roewer, 1934 Uspallata Mello-Leitão, 1938
Fossils from the Devonian Rhynie chert, 410 million years ago, already show characteristics like tracheae and sexual organs, indicating that the group has lived on land since that time. Despite being similar in appearance to, and often confused with, spiders, they are probably closely related to the scorpions , pseudoscorpions , and solifuges ...

About three to seven days after hatching, the larvae fall to the ground to pupate. The pupae reach the adult stage about seven days later. Female screwworm flies mate four to five days after hatching. The entire lifecycle is around 20 days. A female can lay up to 3,000 eggs and fly up to 200 km (120 mi) during her life.
This is the only place it lays eggs, and it can do so on many species of kelp and seaweed, [9] including species of Laminaria and Fucus. [10] A female fly lays up to five clutches of 80 eggs each. [11] The larvae feed upon the bacteria coating the dead kelp. [9] The life cycle is about 30 days long. [1] [11]
Larva of Coboldia fuscipes. Adult Scatopsidae are 0.6-5.0 mm long. They can be distinguished from other fly families by their wings and relatively short antennae. [1] The wing has strong veins along the anterior margin while the remaining veins are generally weak, and the fork of vein Cu is at the wing base.
