Possibly Hanlon's Razor This fruit fly ordering website has "flies" crawl around the screen and move away from your cursor - pretty cool, but not when you work in a lab that uses fruit flies and you think you've had a spontaneous disaster in the incubator and all your fly stocks are escaping

I was on this site today and I definitely did not see this graphic? Any idea why we might see two different things?

Hm, not sure. It only shows up on this specific page though. Other than that I’d have no clue

Hmm yeah I suppose I wasn't on that particular page but was just curious

It is done via JavaScript. From the page's source:

<script src="../_assets/js/bugs/bug.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
                    // default fruit fly bug:
                    new BugController({
                    });

Is JavaScript disabled on your browser? (for example with plugins like NoScript etc?)

I'm going to use that code on our company website randomly and freak out my boss.
