Yellow and brown striped honeybees usually grow 0.5” (13 mm) long. Flies have appeared in literature since ancient Sumer. [93] In a Sumerian poem, a fly helps the goddess Inanna when her husband Dumuzid is being chased by galla demons. [93] In the Mesopotamian versions of the flood myth, the dead corpses floating on the waters are compared to flies. [93] Later, the gods are said to swarm "like flies" around the hero Utnapishtim's offering. [93] Flies appear on Old Babylonian seals as symbols of Nergal, the god of death. [93] Fly-shaped lapis lazuli beads were often worn in ancient Mesopotamia, along with other kinds of fly-jewellery. [93] Welsh, Jennifer (2 July 2012).

And it’s good to remember that spiders are not types of insects but are crawling eight-legged creatures in the class Arachnida. How to Identify Flying InsectsThe honey bee has three pairs of legs, six legs in total. However, the rear pair is specially designed with stiff hairs to store pollen when flying from flower to flower. This is why a heavily laden worker bee is seen to have two golden pouches in full season. The front pair of legs has special slots to enable the bee to clean its antenna. Do honey bees sleep?

And having an inquisitive mind, they yearn to understand “why”. The want to know why things work the way they do. Certain aspects of the methods bees, and other insects, fly are being used in the development of tiny flying robots, such as the Harvard-engineered RoboBee. For many years researchers could not understand how honey bees could fly with their small, rigid wings. The wings seemed too small in comparison to their little body.

Dipterans are endopterygotes, insects that undergo radical metamorphosis. They belong to the Mecopterida, alongside the Mecoptera, Siphonaptera, Lepidoptera and Trichoptera. [5] [6] The possession of a single pair of wings distinguishes most true flies from other insects with "fly" in their names. However, some true flies such as Hippoboscidae (louse flies) have become secondarily wingless. [7]Lucian; C. D. N. Costa (2005). Lucian: Selected Dialogues.

Musca depicta ("painted fly" in Latin) is a depiction of a fly as an inconspicuous element of various paintings. This feature was widespread in 15th and 16th centuries paintings and its presence may be explained by various reasons. [100] Yuval, B.; Bouskila, A. (1 March 1993).
