What is fly?

Fly is when something moves through the air quickly and easily, just like a bug you might see buzzing around your head.

Imagine you're playing with a toy car on a smooth floor, it zooms across without any trouble. Now think of fly as that toy car, but in the sky! A fly is a little insect that uses its wings to move through the air like it's on a super-fast road.

Flies have special wings that beat really fast, like when you flap your hands quickly while jumping. Each time their wings go up and down, they push against the air, which helps them fly higher or faster.

Sometimes, flies buzz around you when you're eating. They might land on your food or even on your face! It feels like they're dancing in the air, that's fly in action!

So next time you see a fly zipping around, remember: it’s just using its wings to move through the air, just like you use your legs to run across the room.
