I used to think it was a reference to something very common in life, like the birds and the bees are in nature. It was a kind of twisted reference to something so plain and commonplace, in a satirical way. But this question coming up here made me look around. I think the following article gives a plausible explanation.\n\nhttp://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bir1.htm

The housefly (also house-fly or house fly) (Musca domestica) is the most common fly occurring in homes and indeed one of the most widely distributed animals and the most familiar of all flies; it is a pest that can facilitate serious diseases.

Butterfly Etymology\n \nThe etymology (not entomology, which is the study of insects but etymology, the study of word origins) of the many words that have been used to describe the diurnal-flying Lepidoptera is fascinating. As author and etymologist David Feldman once asked, “who put the butter in butterfly?” The English common name did originate from the relatively simple combination of “butter” and “fly,” there’s a written old English citation for buttorfleoge, but the literal origin is lost. Some sources have erroneously suggested that the excrement of butterflies is thought to resemble butter. The problem with this, of course, is that other than to void excess water, butterflies do not excrete! Caterpillars do because they are the active growing stage, although a simple consideration of what they eat will make you wonder why anyone would consider that it, commonly called frass, resembled butter! Intriguingly, the larvae of the Jamaican Mexican Fritillary, Euptoieta hegesia hegesia (Nymphalidae), when fed exclusively on the yellow flowers of their preferred host plant, Turnera ulmifolia (Turneraceae), do excrete yellow frass!  When a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis it voids its last larval meal and the waste byproducts of metamorphosis in meconium, a fluid that is most often blood colored (which would lead one to “bloodfly” not “butterfly”).\n\nMore likely origins include considering the that males of the common brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni, Pieridae) of England are butter-colored, or that, as author Samuel Jackson suggested, butterflies and the churning of butter are the simultaneous harbingers of spring, or that the word derives from the old myth that witches and fairies stole butter in the night, in the form of butterflies. The first of these is probably the most likely explanation (I’m a firm believer in simple explanations) but there is some etymological evidence for the last. Regardless, the word – at least in English – is unique (see So, What's in a Name (below) for more information) although I find that it has posed some interesting problems. Think about this: its common to call birdwatchers “birders” but what would one call a butterflywatcher? A butterflier? I don’t think so. It sounds too much like a food fight to me. And I can’t say I’m particularly enamored of the alternatives, lepper or bugger, either! Any suggestions?\n \nSo, What’s in a Name? \nHave you ever wondered what they call butterflies in languages other than English? I thought that I knew quite a few of them until I found this list!

You can probably search up all those questions on google or something. But I think Venus got it's name from the Roman/Greek God Venus.

If it has no visible head (except darker mandibles) and no legs, it is a fly larva, most likely Brachycera, the most common sub order of flies (house flies, blow flies, etc.). It is difficult to determine the exact species, or even family for that matter without seeing it under a scope with a key. It is most likely some species of flesh fly or blow fly, their larvae tend to be very mobile, althought they typically dont travel very far, so the source of your maggot problem may be or possibly was not too long ago, just outside the area where they are coming in by. If they depleted their food resource, typically rotting flesh or dung, they will sometimescrawl away in search of more food....\n\nhope this helps!

1.  It is a play by Shakespeare.  See link below.\n\n2.  It means a fuss is being made over something insignificant.  "The Valerie Plame affair was much ado about nothing, since her identity as a CIA agent was already well known."

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Venus has been known since prehistoric times and from the earliest days has had a significant impact on human culture. It is described in Babylonian cuneiformic texts such as the Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa, which relates observations that possibly date from 1600 BC. The Babylonians named the planet Ishtar, the personification of womanhood, and goddess of love. The Ancient Egyptians believed Venus to be two separate bodies and knew the morning star as Tioumoutiri and the evening star as Ouaiti. Likewise believing Venus to be two bodies, the Ancient Greeks called the morning star Phosphorus (the "Bringer of Light") or Eosphorus (the "Bringer of Dawn"); the evening star they called Hesperos (the star of the dusk) — by Hellenistic times, it was realized they were the same planet. Hesperos would be translated into Latin as Vesper and Phosphorus as Lucifer, a poetic term later used to refer to the fallen angel cast out of heaven. The Romans would later name the planet in honor of their goddess of love, Venus, whereas the Greeks used the name of its Greek counterpart, Aphrodite.\n\nTo the Hebrews it was known as Noga ("shining"), Ayeleth-ha-Shakhar ("deer of the dawn") and Kochav-ha-'Erev ("star of the evening"). Venus was important to the Mayan civilization, who developed a religious calendar based in part upon its motions, and held the motions of Venus to determine the propitious time for events such as war. The Maasai people named the planet Kileken, and have an oral tradition about it called The Orphan Boy. In western astrology, derived from its historical connotation with goddesses of femininity and love, Venus is held to influence those aspects of human life. In Vedic astrology, where such an association was not made, Venus or Shukra affected wealth, comfort, and attraction. Early Chinese astronomers called the body Tai-pe, or the "beautiful white one". \n\nThe astronomical symbol for Venus is the same as that used in biology for the female sex, a stylized representation of the goddess Venus' hand mirror: a circle with a small cross underneath. The Venus symbol also represents femininity, and in ancient alchemy stood for the metal copper. Alchemists constructed the symbol from a circle (representing spirit) above a cross (representing matter).

If it doesn't move or twinkle, it is the planet Venus.\n\nThis answer brings me to level 3.  Thanks all!

If it has wings it's a "fly"\nIf it doesn't it's  "grounded"!!! \nThat was a cute question. I'd never thought of that....LOL ;o)

"Venus in Furs", the song, is based on "Venus in Furs", the book by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. It is a sado-masochistic mess that I find to be seriously over-rated and just weird.\n\nSeverin was one of the main characters (the submissive one).

Part of out pheramone system. Sexual scents to attract another. We have a society have determined it to be fowl. But your great, great, great, great grandparents were knocking boots to that sweet perfume.

Officially, a bug is a member of the order Hemiptera which is part of the Insects. The term is used unofficially for other creepy crawlies as well and the name bug is also used for crustaceans in Australia ie Balmain bug.\n\nThe correct version is that a bug is a type of insect.
