THE GIANT FLY; RE DEFINING THE ROLE OF THE INSECT

BY RALPH WREKITER

The giant fly has a wingspan of about 18 inches and their height is about 28 inches at its full growth. Their large wings make them capable of reaching speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. Their rock-like body texture allows them to suck in their legs and camouflage into the scenery to hide from predators. However, their vision can be faulty, causing them to be trapped easily by carnivorous plants. These organisms are fierce and even feed off human flesh. Scientists are currently in the process of finding a preventive vaccine against diseases that these organisms may spread.
