Quick Scoop: How many legs has a fly got?

Flies are insects, and like all true insects they have six legs attached to the middle part of the body called the thorax. Each of the three thorax segments carries one pair of legs, making three pairs in total. This is true for common houseflies and most other flies you see around homes, gardens, and cities.

If you’ve ever seen an old claim that “flies have four legs,” that goes back to historical mistakes (even Aristotle said this!), but modern anatomy is clear they have six.

So, to answer the question “how many legs has a fly got?” — a fly has six legs.
