The Fly

THE FLY HELLO!

Let me introduce you to a very special guy. HERE'S THE FLY. Hey there!

There are more than 100,000 SPECIES OF FLIES in the world. The green bottle fly Pff! Who are you calling green? The blue bottle fly I feel sad sometimes. The fruit fly Also known as Drosophila. Wheee! Refreshing! The housefly He's the hero of this book. Because I'm the king of the trash heap!

The housefly is a member of the MUSCIDAE FAMILY. Mom Muscidae Dad Muscidae Baby Muscidae Teenager Muscidae YO! Cousin Muscidae Pet Muscidae

We don't call him the HOUSEFLY because he's a pet, like a dog or cat, but because he likes to get inside our HOUSES. Hey, I'm not a DOG! You're not? Oops.

The housefly is found in every country in the world. Houseflies like humans because we offer them a warm place to live and lots of GARBAGE TO EAT. SLUUUURP
