This document discusses the anatomy and life cycle of arthropods like insects and crustaceans. It describes some of their key physical features like an exoskeleton, jointed legs, eyes composed of many individual eyes, antennas for smell, legs and wings in the thorax, and mouths formed by a horn. It also outlines the life cycle of a fly, starting with eggs laid by females, the larva or worm stage, migration to a dry dark location to pupate, and emerging as an adult able to reproduce within 2-3 days. The fly eats a variety of foods including excrement, rubbish, and rotten or sweet foods.
