Flies have swarmed our planet for over 200 million years and live everywhere people do. They spread germs and diseases but are also important pollinators and have been used for medicinal purposes. Flies have been around longer than humans and have managed to find their way into recipes, movies, songs, popular culture, and common expressions. Chapter titles such as Maggotville, Bloodsuckers, and Shoo Fly are great hooks to pique readers’ interests from the beginning. Short segments of text provide both science and humor. A wide range of topics are covered, including the history of flies, fly anatomy and fly infestation.
