this week in science(fruit flies part 2)

this week we put 3 fruit flies in our habitat. this week we made an solution for the fruit flies question. we made a poster for this to show the math we did. we also started our experiment to see the results of the question. my group picked 2 females and 1 male for the experiment.we also got our spiders this week.
 we learned that females produce 20 eggs a day. they also have the ability to store sperm from the males.we found out that they have a short life span. we learned that eggs hatch in one day and take 7 days to turn into pupa and 6 days into pupa and then 2 days to mature into an adult.
my hypothesis is if i put 1 male and 2 female fruit flies in a jar with a natural food source they will mate and in three weeks time they will have produced 100's of eggs because the female lays 20 eggs each day in 3 weeks time they will have been 420 eggs produced x 2 would be 840 and in 7 days an egg will turn in to a pupa and so on with it evolution.
