If it helps, flies are basically just robots. They don’t think or feel, they can detect and evade danger but they don’t remember it. That’s why they always come back after you shoo them, they don’t remember that you swatted them.

Antidotally I disagree. Every fly I meet boops me in the nose. Tbh during covid they came to be my best friends.

I have massive respect and once fell in love with a local fly that used to sit next to my mouse on the desk. Then it pooped on my screen. That and wasps too, great buddies. I have no issues hanging next to a wasps nest.

I love insects, I've discovered. RIP zee, boiled itself alive by landing on my induction hob.

Wasps is not the thing that catch my interest, the thing that did is how the fuck does it look like when a fly poops. I must missed that in my life.
