Many people with cancer like to get mail because it shows that someone is going out of their way to support them. Sending a card does not put the person with cancer under any pressure to respond in person, but gets the simple message of 'Thinking of you' across to them. Keep in mind that you probably don't know the person's exact situation so it might be better to error on the side of neutrality.
Best Answer: According to a scientist at the Forest Reserve District in Illinois, The life span of an average adult housefly is from 20-30 days, and may even survive freezing weather if it stays indoors.
These stages move from eggs to larvae and pupae to adult. House flies have an incredible ability to reproduce, however, the fly lifespan is typically short. The life cycle of a fly begins with the egg. The female house fly can lay anywhere from 75 to 150 eggs in a batch. She can lay an estimated five or six batches of eggs during her lifetime, starting on average, about 12 days after reaching full maturity. Eggs take eight to 20 hours to hatch and reach the first of three larval stages.
