Abstract
Female tsetse flies deposit larvae in soft ground in shady places. The larvae moult to form pupae from which adult flies eventually emerge. The flies (male and female) then seek a blood meal. The mean life span of a male fly is about four weeks and that of a female about eight weeks. Flies detect the odours of their prey by means of sensilla situated on their antannae.
