Brian Sells Chicago · “Time flies like an arrow – but fruit flies like a banana.”

That’s a line from Terry Wogan. I love a good play on words! I always thought “fly” was a pretty boring name for those insects. I mean, come on, it’s not very original. “What do you call that thing flying around?” “How about ‘fly’?” “Uh, ok, that’ll do for now…” Flies are some of the most annoying pests in the home. They land on almost every surface, and their diet includes a wide variety of foods: human food, animal food, animal carcasses, garbage and excrement. Flies also carry germs and diseases. They are known to transfer over 100 pathogens, some of which include salmonella, anthrax, tuberculosis, and the eggs of parasitic worms. That’s probably as much as you care to think about flies today, but just in case here’s a link to the Wikipedia entry on houseflies. Uncategorized
