Comments: Sometimes called âAsh-leaved Mapleâ because of its non-typical leaves, , Box Elder is technically considered a maple tree (Acer genus). Its lumber is softer, weaker, and lighter than almost all other species of maple, and Box Elderâs overall strength, as well as itâs strength-to-weight ratio are poor. Related Species:
Under room temperature (about 20 Â°C), the black blow fly Phormia regina can change from egg to pupa in 150â266 hours (six to 11 days). When the third larval stage is complete, it will leave the corpse and burrow into the ground to pupate, emerging as an adult seven to 14 days later.
She lays batches of about 100 eggs on decaying organic matter such as garbage, carrion or feces. These soon hatch into legless white maggots which after 2 to 5 days of development transform into reddish-brown pupae, about 8 mm (0.3 in) long. Adult flies normally live for 2 to 4 weeks but can hibernate during the winter.
