Description
Flies are typically have short and streamlined bodies and adapted for aerial movement. The fly's head consists antennae, compound eyes, and the mouthparts. Flies have a mobile head with eyes and in most cases have large compound eyes on the sides of the head. For visual course control, flies optic flow field is analyzed by a set of motion-sensitive neurons. A subset of these neurons is thought to be involved in using the optic flow to estimate the parameters of self-motion, such as yaw, roll, and sideward translation. Other neurons are thought to be involved in analyzing the content of the visual scene itself, such as separating figures from ground using motion parallax. The other neuron is responsible for detecting horizontal motion across the entire visual field of the fly, allowing the fly to generate and guide stabilizing motor corrections mid-flight with respect to yaw. The antennae take a variety of forms, but are often short, which reduces drag while flying. Because no species of fly has teeth or any other organ or limb that allows them to eat solid foods, flies consume only liquid food or finely granular foods, such as pollen, and their mouthparts and digestive tracts show various modifications for such diets. Flies often represent death and decay.
