For many members of humanity, family members without virtue are bad. A mug or bug spray should generally be used for contact between them. But there are things to consider before deciding that we have no virtue.
Certainly, many writers like to portray us as a real threat. In fact, one of them called my family, formerly known as the house fly, "America's most dangerous animal." This opinion was expressed on the basis of the widely held belief that we are lovers of dirt and pollution and that we provide transportation for an army of bacteria. The bacteria-laden flies have been blamed for a typhoid epidemic that killed ten times more soldiers than bullets during the Spanish American War of 1898.
Guardian of the earth
I cannot deny that such events have happened. But like a house fly, I want to introduce the other side of the story and explain how we can engage in dirty activities like the typhoid epidemic.
It depends on the type of life we live in. Our place is in the open air, where we act as stewards of the earth. We work with the daily routine of consuming a lot of degrading substances and swimming around a pile of garbage. The great appetite of the house fly fits perfectly with the role of guardian for which we were created.
It is true that problems have arisen over the years, but the main reason is the way people live or how the environment has changed. People have polluted the earth and created unsanitary conditions in big cities. People are lying in the streets or on picnic areas, and cities use large landfills to dispose of a lot of garbage. When we take out our braces, we collect bacteria that are content with this ruinous activity. Among such human-made pollution, house flies can become enemies of your health.
Since the bacteria we carry can harm you, it is advisable to store your waste in a place where we cannot access it. Low bins are great bins. Also use screens above windows whenever possible. If you don't have them, close the windows before sunrise and leave. It is equally important not to leave your food outside as this can be seen as an invitation to lunch.
How we spread bacteria
We don't have any chews, so we all eat food in liquid form. We simply dissolve the food in a liquid which we extract and then inhale again. This fluid is our own saliva or a previously ingested fluid that we feel again. However, there can be bacteria in the liquid waste that we leave behind.
We can also leave bacteria anywhere. At the base of our six legs are sticky pillows that are good for climbing up the side wall or going up and down the ceiling. But when we put one foot on the ground, bacteria can settle on our feet. Even so, it is important to keep our feet on the ground as we use the taste buds of the feet to decide which food is best for us.
Incredible start to life
Some of your races may think that we have little virtue just because we spent our childhood on a pile of cow or horse dung. Mrs. Housefly chooses this unlikely birthplace for us by laying her little eggs in the warm dung. Because the eggs are small, you will find hundreds of house fly larvae called maggots that share the same habitat.
The worms are boneless, boneless and almost headless. You have been hungry since the beginning of your life. Once incubated, they will immediately devour your home. In just six days of life, once their growth is complete, they will have gained 800 times their birth weight! The carnivorous habits of the carnivores attracted their medics, who willingly placed them on wounds so that the tiny creatures could clean up the wounds by eating dead or dying tissue.
The gastric or larval period of a house fly can only last about a week. During this time, it grows its fur into several plants and reaches an inch in length. Then walk up to the hill where it appears. After three more days, the chrysalis opens a new house fly and hunts it with all of its flying and eating equipment.
Very well equipped
Our bodies measure a quarter of an inch from head to tail. You recognize Mr Housefly by a yellow-brown glow on his body. Mrs. Housefly, on the other hand, has a reddish tinge. The most important organs in our body are the eyes that cover most of our head. Beautifully constructed, they are like small, dense telescopes. They allow us to look in all directions at the same time, which is why it is so difficult for people to approach us.
There are motor muscles in our body that train our wings to give us air maneuverability which is among the best insect pilots. Loved ones can fly from side to side, hover in one place or zoom up and down. Our powerful wings, which fly more than 300 times per second, allow us to cover long distances in a single flight.
Great ancestors
Mr. and Mrs. Housefly are not only good aviators, but they can also boast of being some of the insect's best parents. Mrs. Housefly is less than sixty hours old when she lays her first eggs. According to scientific estimates, under ideal conditions, some houseflies that start breeding in April can cover the ground with a layer of their young over three storeys high in August, when all the flies are alive!
But of course that could never happen. On the other hand, houseflies only live for 30 days in the summer. And enemies kill many of us.
Still, many of us survive in temperate zones until the fall or later. We can continue to reproduce during the winter, but less quickly. Our ability to deal with adverse climates ensures that we will be new generations year after year. This means that you must always pay attention to protecting your home and your food to avoid infecting you with diseases.
Without pollution and ruined cities, you probably should not worry about our presence. Therefore, we can do a better job for you as a land manager.
