Animal India

The housefly (Musca domestica) is a fly of the suborder Cyclorrhapha. Adults are gray to black, with four dark, longitudinal lines on the thorax, slightly hairy bodies, and a single pair of membranous wings. House Flies Carry Anthrax, Cholera, Salmonella, Tuberculosis, and Typhoid diseases like at least 65 illnesses that infect people. They have red eyes, set farther apart from the slightly larger female. To cool down, Housefly blows bubbles with their stomach juices through its mouth and then sucks them back in, scientists revealed. Flies rarely move whilst bubbling, but if disturbed, they quickly reingest the liquid – although a few dropped their bubbles.
