While flying the tone is rela- tively low ; when the wings are held so as to prevent their vibrating, the tone is higher, and a higher one still when the fly is held so as to prevent all motion of the external parts. The latter tone is the true voice of the fly, and is produced by the spiracles or breathing-holes of the thorax. Thus, the humming sound is not produced by the motions of the wings alone. The hind body (Fig. 124) is broad and somewhat conica...l in shape, and there are seen to be only four segments when observed from above or below ; but in the living fly three more may be detected, which can be thrust out of the body like the joints of a telescope, and form a sort of egg-layer (ovipositor). Flies have no sting, though certain kinds can bite and stab with their mouth-parts. The legs are long and slender, and composed of the same 114 FIBST LE880N8 IN ZOOLOGY, number of joints as in the beetle. Like the body, they are covered with fine but stiff bristles.
