I despise flys with a passion and felt something snap in me when I heard the buzzing sound in the video. But despite my hatred towards them it’s good to learn facts about them, great video 👍
@@AnimalFactFiles Yeah you made a great video, very informative and entertaining, and I have no problem with the background sounds, it’s just my personal rivalry with the flies in my area
I like how flies are so fast. And the way they rub their paws when looking at your food. Then they do the little neck twitch like they have a mental tick. They are like little ninjas. And if you can smack them, then you can call yourself a ninja cuz you must have cat-like reflexes to even get them. I mean I hate flies too, but they are a formidable foe and I kinda envy those skills. Flies and dragonflies are the best fliers out there, at least for bugs. Peregrin falcons and owls for speed and stealth respectively and then there's that hawk/falcon then can sharply turn and navigate forests to capture their prey. So yeah, I definitely have a love-hate feelings towards bugs.
a fly doesnt have to be directly near my face for me to hear it :/ I can even hear the sounds of a mosquito buzzing about if it's quiet enough and they dont have to be right next to my face
I like most insects a lot, but I really dislike flies. I find them very annoying, but you've set my thinking straight on their usefulness in the environment. I figured they had some use (everything does), but I didn't know what the use was. And since they ranked really high on the annoyance scale, I never took the time to find out. Thanks for the information!

I know that flies can be dangerous vectors of disease, but are also an Important Part of the Food Chain. As you pointed out, they preform Beneficial Services, like Breaking Down Garbage,(a huge environmental problem!) and some species are even pollinators. I prefer use Natural Pest Controls: Good Fitting Screens and allowing the beautiful, Black and White Jumping Spider,(Which isn't poisonous and very rarely bites.) to live in my house, between the glass paynes and the screens where the flys congregate. Also, I kept a little, terracotta clay pot, with part of the rim broken out, for a large Toad to live on my patio to eat the flys. I also encourage the beautiful Native Anole Lizard with potted plants, to live on my patio. I like to keep an Eco-friendly house.
Have you seen the beetle. Its pretty much an amored tank. And dragon flies are just like Helicopters but so much more agile. Bumblebees are like bomber class planes. Humongous yet strangely able to fly. Hornets are like fighter jets. (F-18, ffs 🤣) fast and armed with weapons that hurt Bagworm literally cover themselves us with random stuff just like a voltron/power ranger fighter assembly themselves for their mecha.
Something I’ve always wondered about fruit flies, is their larvae always on the surface of fruits and veggies? It’s almost as if they appear spontaneously (?) once fruits and veggies run rancid.
People uses to think that fruit flys were born from rotting fruit , that's how spontaneous they appear on fruits lol your not alone in your thoughts lol
Yeesh I just *hate* maggots. It's amazing how, despite being the same organism p much, caterpillars are super adorbs whereas maggots make me wanna grab a can of Raid and a hand gun. Yeesh. On the opposite note, I always feel bad when I kill a mosquito, and will only do so if it's in my room at night- otherwise, I'll just rely on trying not to get bit.
I'm actually the same way with mosquitos! Of course, I feel bad killing anything without cause. I bet the maggot thing is due to some kind in instinctual something. They're pretty creepy crawly. Hopefully the vid didn't wig you out too much!
When I see a fly I think carrion bug. They are like vultures but for the insect kingdom (order,phylum, class?). They eat dead, decaying stuff. Its a messy job but someones gotta do it.
Mydas flies are the largest flies, seven centimeters in length, and they are harmless, strictly feeding on nectar. It is rare to see one, as they live rather short lives.
Black horse flies are impressive with how big they grow but they are kill on sight. Bee mimics are cool, but house flies suck because my grandma lets them in then can’t swat them.
@@McConagher Oh I see what's going on here! In most anatomical studies of beetles I've looked at, the elytra are defined as a pair of "hard wings" (sometimes referred to as the "forewings"). It seems like you're saying that you don't count the elytra as "wings" which is where this discrepancy is coming from. I can see your point of view, since the elytra aren't like the typical flight wings in beetles. I choose to go by general scientific naming for these, however, hence my defining them as wings. Hopefully that clears that up!
@@McConagher All good! I'm just glad you mentioned the elytra because I didn't even consider it and I felt bad there was a misunderstanding! Hope you have a good day

Ah we've really reduced the background sounds in our more recent videos. Glad you enjoyed it either way!

@@ericolens3 Honestly same; though I despise flies, I like learning about them and their unique properties
I think it’s cute, it can talk, but what it develops into is mysterious
4:23 jumpscared me since I wear headphones
Ahh!! I'm sorry for that!!!
Me too...
broooo I believed you but you have the whole wrong timestamp and I literally didnt know what you meant until i got scared too 😭
There's nothing more irritating than being awakened at 6am by a fly buzzing in your face 😾
a fly doesnt have to be directly near my face for me to hear it :/
I can even hear the sounds of a mosquito buzzing about if it's quiet enough and they dont have to be right next to my face
I once woke up to a cockroach crawling over my face.
I hate mosquitoes the only thing I hate more is flys , now I know they are all the same .
Know your enemy, if you want to annihilate it!

I'm wearing headphones and the fly sounds hand me thinking there was a fly in my house
Oh yeah. We've fixed this in newer videos. Thanks for watching though!
Flies in South Africa in Phalaborwa.
Dude, it's 48 °C today. Let's lay eggs on a carcass.
I was a fly for Halloween! I loved it!
I also loved the vid😎
That is an AWESOME costume!!
Arthropods are alien mechs and you can't convince me otherwise.
Have you seen the beetle.
Its pretty much an amored tank.
And dragon flies are just like Helicopters but so much more agile.

@@ericolens3 exactly my thoughts
Flies are so cool! Im here lerning more facts about them
Something I’ve always wondered about fruit flies, is their larvae always on the surface of fruits and veggies? It’s almost as if they appear spontaneously (?) once fruits and veggies run rancid.
People uses to think that fruit flys were born from rotting fruit , that's how spontaneous they appear on fruits lol your not alone in your thoughts lol
When I think of flies I think of the ones that fly around porta-potties then they land in my food after touching poop and urine
House fly have two big wings and smaller wings in the inside ( house flys. )And if you take out the small inside wings they can't fly.. thanks
I have a phobia of flies
Same, trying exposure therapy but it's scary lmao
As much as im interested in animals this is really a perfect video ❤️❤️
It's 4am i've woken up & hear then see a fly in my room. I had to get the raid can. Now i feel slightly guilty so thanks for the video
Thanks for the information guys!😁
Thanks for using the suggestion.
I'd smash flies between my hand if it wasn't that size.
Yeesh I just *hate* maggots. It's amazing how, despite being the same organism p much, caterpillars are super adorbs whereas maggots make me wanna grab a can of Raid and a hand gun. Yeesh.

Nah it wasn't too bad lol. Have you seen *Hercules Beetle larvae/pupae? Yikes in the Yard!
Oh boi... they thicc
Thicc and w a x i
Yeah....I know....
When I see a fly I think carrion bug.
They are like vultures but for the insect kingdom (order,phylum, class?).
They eat dead, decaying stuff. Its a messy job but someones gotta do it.
Insecta is a class, not a kingdom.
Their relationship with maggots will not save them if they get within arms reach of me and a rolled up newspaper
I had to learn about them so I can hate them a little less so thank you 🤣❤️

The fly ability to see in slow motion
What was the fly at 4:04? The one with the yellow and black striped eyes
Black horse flies are impressive with how big they grow but they are kill on sight. Bee mimics are cool, but house flies suck because my grandma lets them in then can’t swat them.
how does 2 blue bottles sound different when buzzing if its just the wings?
They are amazing little animals but if they land on my food that section gets thrown away.
How can they fly for so long with so little energy? I watched a house fly for an hour straight. Never rested. How?
Imagino How cool would bê a fly drone
Buzz Buzz!
I feel like I wanna end the flies life when I see or I get annoyed
"just about the only insects with a single pair of wings"
Bettles who represent 40% of all insect species : 👁️👄👁️
Most beetles have two pairs of wings tho? 😹
@@AnimalFactFiles No ? They have on pair of wings and one pair of elytra ???
@@McConagher Oh I see what's going on here! In most anatomical studies of beetles I've looked at, the elytra are defined as a pair of "hard wings" (sometimes referred to as the "forewings").

@@AnimalFactFiles ah, yeah, I was confused but I guess you still call them wings even if you don't use them to fly, sorry about that ahah
@@McConagher All good! I'm just glad you mentioned the elytra because I didn't even consider it and I felt bad there was a misunderstanding! Hope you have a good day
Helpful video 😍😘
Glad you learned something new! 😊
Good😀
great👌
Thank you!
Great video!!
For the worst insect ever

Can bed bugs live in the wild?
What about horse flies
mosquito means little fly
I think the video changed my perspective a little bit about flies they're still very annoying and the up close pictures grossed me out
wow
And I wish flies were replaced by a way less annoying and less crappy insect
Know your enemies people...
why are they attracted to awful smells?
I love flies cuz they clean streets and the other good things they do
