Fly Facts that You MUST know
Over 120 000 species of flies have been found around the world. Still, all flies belong to the Diptera Family – basically any insect with two wings. Flies can ingest and spread a lot of bacteria each time they land on an object. They only feed on liquids, when trying to consume solid foods the fly must spit on their meal to liquify it.
The life span of flies depends on their species, but it is usually short. Most flies live from 8 days up to 2 months but some can live for a whole year.
