Title: The mystery of Fruit Flies
Post by: Blanka on June 14, 2012, 01:06:33 PM

OK, I'm going nuts on a bit of biology.

I have 2 LCD screens, one at work, and one at home

In both rooms, ONE FRUITFLY is flying around the screen. Never 2, never 0.
If you kill one, then the NEXT DAY, again 1 FRUITFLY hovers around the screen.

Please help me explain this!

Another miracle:
- Regular flies tend to fly circles around lamps. But they also do it around lamp hooks in the ceiling. With the power cut, no lamp hanging, just 2 wires with a screw connector, it still attracts flies like IF THERE WAS a lamp. Nature is a mystery.

I believe this is due to 'earlier' flies leaving pheromone traces on the lamps wiring that attracts the 'new' flies - best way to test this would be to totally replace the wiring with fresh stuff and see if it still happens...

Regarding the fruit flies, don't know why that would happen but i remember breeding some real monstrosities in Biology class, wings for eyes and all stuff like that, very odd creatures!!
