Where Do Babies Come From?

I've developed a new talent recently and I amaze my husband EVERY TIME! (Not as much as when I juggled sixlets and gumballs in the air with my mouth on our first date. THAT was way more impressive!

I have now developed the ninja-like ability to swat flies with my bare hands. I have a dozen fly-swatters, but I can't always get to those in time. Living on a farm this time of year involves a constant battle with insects. One has to adapt for survival, which is why my family is very pleased with this newly developed gift.

I've been wondering lately, though....

Where are the BABY flies?

I've seen babies of other insect varieties:

*Baby wasps-when we broke off the nest and opened it.
*Baby spiders-as I was vacuumming them up while renovating the farm house.
*Baby crickets-those were everywhere until the exterminator started visiting.
*Baby praying mantis-sitting on the herbs in my garden. Although, there were two until after the wind storm....I think one blew away.

I have searched and searched, but I have yet to see a baby fly. The way I understand it, they only live for, like, 4 days. You would have to accomplish a lot of things in four days. This creates all kinds of questions in my mind:

Where are the nests?

Where do they hatch?

What do they look like when they hatch?

How big are they when they are "born"?

Why do they wait at the door to rush into the house, only to sit in the windows trying to escape (once they've made it in)?

When Hayden was a baby, he was TERRIFIED of flies. Now, he weilds a nasty fly swatter and goes on random "fly-hunting" trips to the french doors on occasion.

Someday, I hope to pass on my Ninja ability to posterity.
