My greatest achievement is catching a fly out of anger without looking. It kept buzzing by my head and I couldn’t swat it nor could I focus on my hw with it coming and going every 2 seconds. I had angrily just whipped my arm out and grabbed where i heard it flying by and caught it without looking away from my work. Surprised myself, surprised the fly, fly got dead, I got an A. Life is good.

I did something almost impossible too. Few years ago there was a blackout at night and my room was so dark that i cant even see my hand. I was bored and raised my hand and started doing scissors but all of a sudden something got caught between my 2 fingers so i held onto it until lights came back on. Then i realised that i have caught fly in mid air with just 2 of my fingers without seeing it.

That dog would sit on the edge of the park every day waiting for him just staring across the park getting his hopes up if he saw someone then signing I felt sorry for Spot.

I was living in Vermont and had to move back to New York City and couldn't take my one-year-old lab with me. A wonderful couple who had a cabin in the woods about 10 miles from my place volunteered to take him. I brought him there in my station wagon in a 20 below snow storm at night. Long story short, he broke away from their place and found his way back in pitch darkness through the snow. In the early morning, I opened the door and there he was wagging his tail, licking my face, and jumping up and down. I both laughed and cried at the same time, given that I would have to take him back once more. I was also completely amazed that he could navigate his way at night in a blizzard from a place he had never been to before.

When I was a kid I remember seeing many flies get into the gap between the blinds and the window, id always find them really annoying due to the constant buzzing sound they made from smacking their wings against the glass trying to get out, one day I decided to walk over to one of these windows and inspect the fly that was inside the gap and with my morbid curiosity coming into play I wondered if I'd be quick enough to squash it against the surface of the blinds, so I waited for it to get comfortable and wipe its face with its legs repeatedly like they usually do and then SMACK, I ended up flattening the little guy and sticking him against the window, I told my mom about it and seeing as I was just a kid she cleaned the bug guts up and jokingly told me I did a good job and since I was now convinced my mom was proud of me for smearing fly guts on the window over the next few months I would be constantly at work splatting flies all over every window of my house, my mom would constantly be cleaning dozens of exploded flies off the windows. That's all.

Insects, especially ants, also use pheromones to communicate or leave paths behind them as they walk. They can wander off looking for food or something and with the help of their internal compass as well as pheromones they can retrace their steps, communicate with pheromones that they've found food and then follow the path they took previously or another ant can follow that path if it's still there. It's actually very interesting to watch ants communicate.

A fly is essentially two navigation modules in a system behind each eye coordinating their visual input with each other and sending commands to either their legs or their wings with a few subroutines for eating, topor, mating, ect.

[@chrislofterplodzzz]

you tried too hard to turn biology into tech terms this is awful

[@eaglewolfzen]

@@chrislofterplodzzz Tech?

[@ModelLights]

'essentially two navigation modules ' It isn't just two navigation modules, it's essentially two halves to the brain, and you can prove it easily. If a fly is landed somewhere, keep your body back from it, and approach it with your hands, one from each side. Move your hands slightly up and down (this is to keep them moving slightly in the fly's vision so they remain 'active') and slowly bring your hands closer and closer to the fly, evenly so they stay an equal distance from the fly. With an equal threat from both sides, the fly literally won't be able to take off. You can generally get both hands to within a few inches of the fly, then light and shadows will make one hand or the other more of a threat and it'll finally be able to take off. Once in a while when lighting is correct etc, you can actually close your hands slowly around the fly and it won't even take off. But usually they can take off when you get about 3 to 4 inches away with each hand. With a little practice you can catch a fly almost every time by hand by bringing your hands together quickly that last few inches, they leap up and you can catch it in the hollow between your hands from that last few inches. Neat to do once in a while, you can directly demonstrate how their brain is organized.

[@eaglewolfzen]

@@ModelLights You sort of proved my point. They are very much like sensory arrays with simple threat engines that easily glitch in the right circumstances than an ever adaptable brain that is always improvising in real time.

@chrislofterprod zzz I think that's a massive overreaction to what is basically just a creative abstraction of what flies do. A thought exercise. Do hypotheticals really disturb you this much?

[@lionelwhiskerknot]

I think that the CFF (Critical Flicker Fusion) of a fly factors in a lot when trying to kill it. They basically live in bullet time perceiving everything else as slow motion with the way their brain processes input. Dog has a slightly higher CFF too which is why they kinda cheat at the game of frisbee.

And, I still don't know why I can't kill a fly... other than it being bad karma. Here is a funny story. When I was a kid I used to watch the Karate Kid movies. And in one of the movies there is this scene where the Karate-sensei Miyagi is teaching Daniel how to focus. And out of the blue "whoosh", he just catches a fly with his chopsticks. When I saw this I was just floored. And it formed a great impression on me. A few years later a Japanese student from overseas came to live with our family as part of an exchange program. He taught me about Japanese customs, the Japanese syllable alphabet and also how to eat with chopsticks. At this point having mastered how to eat with chopsticks after a few weeks of practice. I remembered the scene from the movies and as we were living in the countryside there were always flies around. And so in a smug moment of focused concentration I struck out at the next fly to come by me AND I CAUGHT IT IN MY FIRST TRY! I was totally astonished. Never caught one again in my life.

I had noticed as a child that when flys take off from the ground they need to fly forward. If even for a fraction of a second.

I've lost track of how many flies I've had to kill today. There seem to be an infinite amount. A black plastic spatula seems to be a particularly good Instrument as the flies don't seem to be able to see black objects coming. I've been hearing that flies didn't exist in the Americas until roughly 200 years ago. But They also say things to the contrary. It's hard for me to envision a landscape without any flies, so I don't know who to believe. They're here and they're not going away any time soon. Might as well get used to slapping and flailing at them. I can't have them crawling on my lips, but they're intent on doing that. I guess I just don't ever get to fully relax again. Thanks nature.

I have always been VERY good at just being able to tell where/what direction i am, and i don't know when that skill has been acquired, but i think it has to do with smell and memory, and magnetics ofcourse. -i have always run around far into the woods alone as a child, and i learned the smell of water-sources, and various other types of areas by subtle hints off the wind. i never, EVER got lost, and i learned, even with our northern weird-sun, to use it to tell "oh, it should be 5:00 now, i should head home so my mom does not worry!", and i would always be on-the-dot RIGHT, even if the sun was inconsistent and my mom told me "but that is only for the lower half of the planet!", yet i was always on time, without a watch or anything, all year. I would equate it to do alot with memory, because i have a VERY good one, and every step and area, i always knew and never forgot, but perhaps it has to do with my feeling for the magnetic fields too, because i know where north is by heart, -don't know how, but i always do (along with the other 3 directions) and i would think it makes alot of sense why animals would know it too, it's just a mystery to me how i know these things, it's SO subtle, it is amazing i ever pick up on these things at all, and scares me, that some people lose their direction so easy.

GPS, which is only one of our global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) has come a long way, and real-time kinematic (RTK) centimeter-level positioning is becoming more and accessible, as well as SBAS, which as far as I understand it, literally reads atmospheric pressure differences and sends that data to GNSS receivers to increase position accuracy. I just started learning about this stuff and it is so so cool. GNSS also works over most of the globe, and even without a base station (like a cell tower), we still have positioning down to a few meters. My point is, GNSS is a very useful tool, and I don't think flies will replace it, but I'm excited to see what we can do with flies, maybe in addition to GNSS.

[@rprojects8162]

But how do they use the stars (and moon) to navigate? There are so many and don't they move across the sky? So you would change directions constantly

[@KC-xr2tm]

As always, Great video.

[@thenocommentaryallosaurus3720]

this guys videos are entertaining dont get me wrong, but sometimes the things said in the videos are completely inaccurate. ants and other insects may be effected in different ways of navigation due to light or whatever but they mainly travel using pheromone trails, which wasnt mentioned at all. not the first time something has been left out like that.

Some scientist believe that some ants actually have a hive mind and are actually significantly more complex then we first initiated

[@appletherapy]

Thats what happened with cells back when they first discovered them. They thought they were simple and that we could create life.

You can also imagine that it's hard for birds as well as other creatures, even human one's to see the stars in the daytime, so which birds are navigating at night exactly? What about when it's cloudy? Hard for dung beetles? No $#!t!

I didn't know dogs used familiar scents, thats so interesting! So they use a variety of scents to find their way long distances, is what it sounds like.

[@WolfGr33d]

Speaking of navigation, there are languages (namely Guugu Ymithirr) that require speakers to have an inherent knowledge of where North, South, East, and West lie. In other words, native speakers develop somewhat of an internal compass when learning to speak the language from childhood.

[@danielgoodman3578]

The title led me to believe the video would explain why I am unable to kill a fly, but it seems what he meant was an explanation as to why I shouldn't kill a fly. I'll still kill flies.

Hey WATOP I've got a question, Can you cross breed different animals like ants and dogs Or birds and cats, Is it possible?

[@yungyojileaf]

have you ever seen an obscure combination of a bird and a cat or an ant and a dog? if not then you have your answer. google is at your fingertips.

[@MultiAnimationboy]

Their chromosome numbers don't match up, neither do the mechanism of determining the male so no, not even in a lab environment will it work.

[@Ja-EdenCheese]

[@dibershai6009]

You can't. They are too different. Animals can only crossbreed if they belong to the same genus. But even that barely works!

[@Minronis]

Don't let the beginning of this video discourage you: a lot can be accomplished without having a bunch of arbitrary perquisites designated by human society, which isn't perfect by any means. If you want to try discovering a way to use flies with a high school degree, go for it, who said you needed to wait for some losers at a school to tell you to experiment with shit? Humans are naturally curious and education can be a financial and time sink, so just do it. You want to try something? Invent something? Write something? Exercise? Go for it and do it in your own way, whatever you decide is best and if you decide you might need a little help, that's okay and sure, you might not get the results you want but that's what makes it a passion: it keeps you driven and going, as you make it a little further each time. Don't let others set your goals for you.

[@gideoncheung8731]

it's actually really easy to catch/kill a fly. For some reason they fly upwards, so all you have to do is hold a cup vertically above the fly and move it slowly towards the fly, and then slam it down. Or you can just use your hand and slam it down; always worked for me

[@ivohuisman432]

He speaks about ants as primitive and humans as the peek of evolution. This is just straight up wrong. Though ants have been around for a long time this doesn’t mean they are primitive, it just means that they are so well sooted to their niche that they have not have to change. Meanwhile saying that humans are the pinnacle is naive. We are highly adaptive due to our intelligence and thats why we are the dominant species. But we aren’t really that evolved. Are heads are to big at birth for the mother, our backs are positioned in a way so that everyone will at some point have major issues whit it and our ankles have so many useless bones that we can break them by stepping on something the wrong way. Does that sound like “the pinnacle of evolution” to you? No. Furthermore evolution is an ever ongoing process in living things even when it seems that an organism is perfectly sooted to its niche. So there is no pinnacle because there is no end. (This is not meant as a hate post, just trying to inform)

[@rebeccasutton2401]

ok

[@djatlasmusik]

This guy loved nature I don't think he intended to call ants primitive as in inferior, many times this guy says things like "this animal might be as smart as Humans" he means in this example that to our perception certain animals can do things that we do so we can only assume they might be smart as Humans. He is basically describing things he isn't intending to put a negative connotation onto the abilities of animal I think u just took it that way

[@ivohuisman432]

@@djatlasmusik what you say is true. I just tought that poeple who are not very versed in biology might not recconise that and take it very litterely. What could cause them to develope wrong ideas abbout evolution and other topics that he touches on. (Sorry for my bad english btw)

All I could think about while watching the second half of this was Ancient Aliens and how all the ancient cultures seem to have an unexplained fascination with the stars. I wonder if we too as humans have some kind of visual connection to the stars that we do not yet fully understand.
