head is covered by
its eyes. Houseflies
have compound

that each eye is

Each simple eye has its own nerve and six-sided lens.
When a housefly looks at an object, it doesn’t see one
smooth picture, but a mosaic made up of thousands of
pieces of that picture.

Compound eyes permit a
fly to see in many directions
at once. 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.

Buzz through
today’s newspaper
and find:
Houseflies have no teeth. 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.

Houseflies eat all kinds of things—manure,
garbage, human food and dead, decaying
animals. That’s why it’s important to keep houseflies away
from your food; they can leave behind germs.
