"A fly in the air is a masterpiece of aeronautical engineering. A fly on the ground is merely a wanderer in a polished desert."

In this installment, Craig Chapman steps away from the utility cupboard to ponder a question of speculative biology: Could the Common House-Fly Survive Without Wings? From the logistical nightmare of finding glucose on a kitchen floor to the inevitable "looming response" of a cellar spider, we explore the grim reality of life as a six-legged pedestrian.
