Что будет, если мухи исчезнут "НАВСЕГДА"?

She sees time more slowly than you. She has thousands of eyes in a single head, a built-in living gyroscope, and wings that beat 200 times per second. She tastes food with her own feet and calmly walks upside down on the ceiling. One of the most advanced flying creatures on the planet—and right now, it's sitting in your kitchen. This is a fly. And almost everything about it is more intricate than you might think. Let's figure out why it's so hard to swat: it's not the speed of its wings, but the speed of its vision. Where you see a fleeting flick of the wrist, a fly discerns a slow gesture with a beginning, middle, and end—and manages to formulate an escape plan before its legs even leave the table. Let's look into its compound eyes, where each of its four thousand ocelli points in a different direction, and behind its wings, where a living gyroscope is hidden—analogous to the device that keeps airplanes balanced. Next comes the most unexpected part. Why does a fly trample on food and rub its legs? They have hairs that act like a tongue, allowing it to taste everything it touches. Why is it unable to bite off a single crumb and dissolves solid food from the outside? And how thousands of hairs with droplets of sticky liquid turn its legs into natural scotch tape that sticks to the ceiling. And in the second half, the fly's reputation is put to the test. Why is it truly dangerous and why fly control is about cleanliness, not just a newspaper in hand. How its larvae became an officially approved medical method. And why the humble fruit fly has won several Nobel Prizes.
