Near Brighton? Nothing on tonight (28 Oct)? Treat yourself to hearing Dr Erica McAlister @flygirlNHM whose talks on flies are always very funny and informative (full of amazing and weird stuff). Info tinyurl.com/38xk9fnz

"Be afraid. Be very afraid." Went the tagline for the 1986 movie 'The Fly'. It tapped into the deep rooted notion that flies are one of the most hated groups on the planet. But what about the truth . . . @flygirlNHM @NHM_London
