Okay, class, pay attention and I'll teach you how to identify the various species of ants.

Fire ants drive tiny little red trucks.
Red ants are communists and live in communes.
Army ants carry little rifles.
Carpenter ants wear tool belts.
Honey dew ants do chores around the house.

Now let's talk about flies:

Fruit flies are a little whacky.
House flies don't get out much.
Horse flies wear iron shoes.
Dragon flies'long tails sometime drag on the ground when they are very tired. They were the first to use the expression, "My tail's a dragon."
May flies may, and they may not.
Green flies don't live long enough to get ripe.
Sand flies spend a lot time at the beach.
Butterflies are the bane of dairy farmers.
And remember, the best place to catch flies is in the outfield.
See you next year,
Howard
