Summary

Focuses on the common housefly and its fondness for all things revolting. The author takes obvious joy in detailing the housefly's typical meals, which include such savoury delights as garbage-juice soup, dirty diapers, and 'doggie doo'. The Muscidae family (to which the housefly belongs) is depicted with Mom, Dad, a younger sibling, and a slouchy adolescent fly. Includes graphic illustrations and fact-filled text that traces its extensive history as well as its habitats, anatomy, and behaviors
