More Learning! Fly Guy Facts and Fun

Flies are pets, not pests, according to our pal Fly Guy, so here are some resources for more fly learning fun!

Fly Guy the Musical

If you're looking for an easy guide to breakdown various types of flies and their differences, buzz over to PestWorldforKids.org

If you're a Kindle reader, Fantastic Facts about Flies, is a free Kindle Unlimited read!


If you've flown through the Fly Guy series and are craving another picture book, check out I. Fly, an illustrated education about the awesomeness of flies.



Watch the growth cycle of flies with this awesome video!


And for those who just want a little more of Fly Guy, the Musical, here are the fly facts from the shows' closing number!

Fly Girl and Fly Guy are amazin’
Two creatures to pique your fascination
Since craving more information
Listen as we list Linnaean classifications
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Insecta!
Diptera!
Section: Schizophora
They’re flies! (Flies!)
They have compound eyes!
A thousand little lenses let ‘em see from all sides
Antennae!
Can smell things a mile away!
And scientists say that if conditions are great
Some flies can fly several miles a day
Yeah, the buzz that they make is the sound of their wings beating
They have sticky, sticky feet that let ‘em walk on the ceiling
And the hairs on those feet let them taste where they’re walking
But they don’t have teeth, so they can’t ingest solids
So they vomit on food, because their vomit is caustic
And they suck it back up with a straw-like proboscis
(Ewww!)
Fly Guy, Fly Girl, oh Fly Guy, Fly Girl, friendzies!
Fly Guy, Fly Girl, or Fly Guy, Fly Girl, friendzies!
Yeah a couple of kids and their pets who were flies

If these fly activities don't fulfill your fly-loving needs, you could always make your way to Fly Guy, the Musical again!  It's even better a second time!
