House flies do not eat solid foods – instead, they regurgitate vomit onto their food source – the vomit contains enzymes that liquify the food so it can be sucked up.
Patio Life is exhibiting at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH (closed until further notice). The exhibit features over 20 large format reproductions of insects, a 6 foot wide map of where the insects were photographed and the book, Patio Life.
