house fly-body

With the dead housefly I found, I also investigated its body area. The wings above are called transparent wings and, because of the illuminater, seems to reflect a pinkish and greenish color. 
One significant fact you can notice here in these pictures is that the body consists of numerous hairs. The hairs are actually present for a variety of purposes including the dissipation of heat and the sense of touch.
