When you see a fly rubbing its legs together, it is cleaning itself, and scraping off some of the material that has gathered here.
A fly is an insect with a pair of well developed wings. The common housefly is one of the best – known kinds of flies; a scavenger, it does not bite living animals but is dangerous because it carries bacteria that cause many serious diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery.
The housefly feeds by depositing a drop of digestive liquid on its food, which may be food that has been undiscovered.
Disease can be transmitted on the fly’s sticky foot pads and hairy body.
