Have flies really followed a Darwinian course to such a point that the survivors can recognize the sound of an impending fatal blow?
Not the sound, says Joe Conlon, technical adviser of the American Mosquito Control Association -- and by the way, if you ever get a chance to attend its annual convention, be sure to wear long sleeves and, above all, avoid the zapper -- who tells AF, "It's not that they recognize someone's rolling up a paper and is about to make them see Elvis -- they've got teeny-tiny hairs around their body, which are very sensitive to air currents.
They can't hear, so it's the movement and the air currents created by rolling up the newspaper" that alert them. John Byers, a professor of zoology at the University of Idaho, notes that flies' eyes are crucial to their survival. As for Darwin's little theory, UC Davis entomology professor Jay Rosenheim explains that "flies, like any animal, live under a relatively constant threat -- it's not that somebody's trying to whack them with a newspaper, but that all animals have to be vigilant all the time for things that want to have them for dinner.
