* Flies can live anywhere - from freezing cold Antarctica to scorching hot volcanic baths.
* Maggots help solve crime and might be the next superfood of the 21st century!
* Flies are masters of disguise. Some look like bees or even spiders to hide from predators.
* Flies are amazing gardeners. Hairy flies make the best pollinators!
* Flies can be stars of the show. Just ask the Beyoncé fly.
