Bishopp found that two feedingsare usually necessary between the deposition of each lot of eggs. There are three larval stages and the larvae are creamy whitein colour and have a shiny translucent appearance; the younglarvae are even more translucent. The adult larvae, which measureabout 11 mm., are rather similar to those of if. domestica, but theycan be distinguished by the character of the posterior (fig. 90, J.) are wider apart than in M. domestica and aretriangular in shape with rounded corners; each of the corners.
