You give no indication of the life span of the flies - do they die after producing 20 offspring in 1 day, or do they keep on producing flies until the end of the month.

Nor do you specify how many days are in the month.

Assuming an average month of 30 days (since the year has an average of approx 30.44 days per month), then:

Assuming no fly dies and keeps on producing 20 every day, then:

After day 1: 1 adult + 20 babies

After day 2: 21 adult + 420 babies

After day 3: 441 adult + 8820 babies

And so on

After 30 days there are approx 4.1967×10³⁹ babies

Assuming the flies die after producing the babies, then:

After day 1: 20 babies

After day 2: 400 babies

After day 3: 8000 babies

and so on

After 30 days there are approx 1.0737 × 10³⁹ babies
