1.

The Ultimate Survivors


Flies have been around for over 250 million years. They're tough, adaptable, and
can live just about anywhere—from garbage cans to mountaintops.

2. Speed Demons
Houseflies flap their wings around 200 times per second! That’s why they’re so hard
to catch. They can also react to danger seven times faster than humans.

3. Masters of Flight
Flies can take off in any direction and change course mid-air with incredible
precision. Their giant compound eyes give them near 360° vision—no sneaking up on
them!

4. Short but Busy Lives


Most flies only live about 2 to 4 weeks, but during that time, they lay hundreds of
eggs and play a huge role in the ecosystem—especially in decomposition.

5. Not Just Pests


Sure, they’re annoying at picnics, but flies help break down waste, pollinate some
plants, and feed tons of animals like frogs, birds, and spiders. They’re a vital
part of the food chain.

6. Why We (Kind of) Appreciate Flies


They’re gross, but fascinating. Flies remind us how even the most irritating
creatures have an important role in nature—and how wild evolution can be.

Conclusion
Flies might not be lovable, but they’re fast, smart, and surprisingly important.
Next time one zips by your face, maybe just respect the hustle before you reach for
the swatter.

Thank You!
Now go wash your hands—flies do land on some pretty questionable stuff. 😅
