A bit more fun I hope! The Latin name, Calliphora Vomitoria, translates as 'clever at provoking vomiting', I think! Rather sweet, wouldn't you agree?
A Full Throttle Guy
The Blue Bottle Fly Is a full throttle guy Who buzzes round your house, Much bigger than our friend the Flea And even Larry Louse. His wife lays her eggs On smelly rotting meat. "YUCK!" I can hear you say. Her tummy is metallic blue - Her head and neck are grey. The Blue Bottle Fly Eats Muddle-Puddle Pie Well, anything in fact As long as it's stinky and rotten And creepy crawly packed. Now you try and say His complete Latin name. 'Calliphora Vomitoria'. Not easy to pronounce, I know - He sounds like Queen Victoria. Oh, the Blue Bottle Fly He's a full throttle guy Filthier than our Louse Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz! Buzz buzz! Let's drive him out the house!
