These little creatures are small, about 1/4 inch long, with a dark gray body and two transparent wings. You can spot them by their large red eyes which take up most of their head. And if you look really closely, you'll notice tiny hairs all over their bodies, which help them sense their surroundings.  \nFrom those big red eyes, let's fly over to where these fascinating creatures spend their time. House flies can be found all over the world, and as their name suggests, they often live in human homes. They like to hang out in  \ntrash cans, animal waste, and anywhere else they can find food. And speaking of food, did you know they eat by spitting on their food to dissolve it before sucking it back up?  \nAfter that spit-tacular meal, let's delve into the life cycle of a house fly. They start as tiny eggs, then hatch into larvae, also known as maggots. After a few days, these maggots turn into a pupa, and then finally, they emerge as adult flies. This whole process only takes about a week, so a fly's life is pretty fast-paced!  \nWith such a speedy life cycle, you might wonder how house flies interact with the world around them. Well, they're not the best roommates for humans, as they can carry diseases. But for other animals, like frogs, spiders, and birds, house flies make a tasty snack.
