A fly has an exoskeleton which means their skeleton is on the outside of their body instead of inside. This helps protect them from enemies.

What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?

Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together. If you think of one of those big crabs and how there is a shell on the outside of them (not sea shells) this is their skeleton which is an external skeleton.
