Typical Flight Path

Flies are more adventurous travellers then either German or Irish backpackers.

And they’re generally better equipped to deal with the challenging climatic conditions and varied food quality they encounter.

In the course of a day a fly will travel many hundreds of metres looking for sustenance and moisture.

And if they accidentally enter a car just before the vehicle sets off, the fly’s search can end hundreds of kilometres away from where their best friend and worst enemy live.

Like backpackers, flies aren’t particularly discriminating and are as content to eat mum’s apple purée before or after it has passed through the baby.

There’s almost nothing a fly won’t eat or drink, and regardless of what it consumes, its body size never changes.

No wonder fat people hate them so intensely.
