Each lens points in a slightly different direction, making it possible for a housefly to see above, below and to the sides, as well as to the front. That is why it is hard to sneak up on a housefly! How many flies can you find on today’s page in 60 seconds? Have a friend try. Who found more? How does a housefly walk upside down on a ceiling and straight up slick glass windows? At the end of a fly’s foot are two tiny, sticky suction cups called pulvilli (pull –VIL-eye) and two claws. The claws help the housefly grab onto rough surfaces and the pulvilli allow the fly to stick to smooth surfaces. Asto ria Fo rest Pro d ucts , LLC 861-3252 1167 S.E.

Everything they eat must be liquefied. If a housefly wants to eat something solid, such as a sugar crystal, it must first dissolve the food with saliva. Then it can suck the liquid up its proboscis. The proboscis is a hollow tube that extends out of its mouth. Help this fly climb up the wall.
