Did you know?
Flys start their flight by taking off backwards.
No surprise they are so weird! Have you seen their eyes? They got like 1000 eyes and see things multiple times.
Am I the only one that absolutely don't like flys? They are so annoying in the summer.
Imagine the following - you are sleeping on a sunday morning - the sunlight shines into your room and everything is quiet and peaceful.
Suddenly "fzzztt" a fly lands on you face - well they are always awake before you are. You wake up, move and they fly away. 1 Minute later "frrrz" it is on your face again! This repeats for the next 2 hours until you finally stand up. Welcome! This is every of my mornings in summer time.
Besides this - you can see the fly far more better in this image below. Horrifiying! I don't know why people are afraid of sharks - Flys look close up much more like Aliens to me!
I hope you find this fact of a backwards flight of the fly as interesting as I did.
