I was thinking, is there a single person who has strong feelings about flies
they're such a mid boring animal and it's easy to forget their existence despite them being extremely common
No.71214
>>71142reminded me to upload this
i assume you're talking about houseflies and similar body shapes instead of the full taxon so i can't talk about robber flies, hoverflies, mosquitoes and such
personally i find the monochrome stripes & red eyes typical of sarcophagids very attractive and at least one species is a parasitoid of tent caterpillars whose massive aggregations of larvae can completely defoliate trees
all flies lack hindwings, they've been modified into little sensory organs called halteres which tell them their angular position among other things

>>72549Insect stingers are repurposed ovipositors so moid bees don't have them
>Mating between a single drone and the queen lasts less than 5 seconds, and it is often completed within 1–2 seconds… …Once the endophallus has been everted, the drone is paralyzed, flipping backwards as he ejaculates. The process of ejaculation is explosive—semen is blasted through the queen's sting chamber and into the oviduct. The process is sometimes audible to the human ear, akin to a "popping" sound. The ejaculation is so powerful that it ruptures the endophallus, disconnecting the drone from the queen. The bulb of the endophallus is broken off inside of the queen during mating—so drones mate only once, and die shortly after.
