The fine, gauzy membrane forming the body of the wing, is traversed by a number of dark looking lines. These prove to be channels, which in very young flies con- tain blood. but in adult specimens they serve only as air passages. They are known as veins or nervures. The wing when dry exhibits a beautiful irridescence or -|play of colors, readily seen even by the FIG. 4. OF HOUSE FLY. This organ is in reality a combination, of a tongue, jaws, and lips. Im the centre is seen a bundle of fine tubes, through which the food is sucked into the fly’s mouth. This being so, solid food is of course useless to the creature.
