A fly defends its species in a fun, fact-filled classroom debate.
In a lively classroom presentation, a fly passionately argues why flies are cooler than butterflies. With fascinating facts and quirky habits, this charming insect aims to win over a group of curious, yet squeamish, kids. Will the fly's enthusiasm and unique perspective change their minds about these often-overlooked creatures? Discover the surprising world of flies through this entertaining and educational journey.
Fly is fed up with everyone studying butterflies. Flies are so much cooler! They flap their wings 200 times a second, compared to a butterfly’s measly five to twelve times. Their babies—maggots—are much cuter than caterpillars (obviously). And when they eat solid food, they even throw up on it to turn it into a liquid. Who wouldn’t want to study an insect like that?
In an unforgettably fun, fact-filled presentation, this lovable (and highly partisan) narrator promotes his species to a sometimes engrossed, sometimes grossed-out, class of kids.
