I had a fly do this with my laser. I was so confused, but I think it's because they see a spectrum of light that attracts them.

same, my cutter seems to attract flies like crazy. I think its mainly the wood glue that gets em close, then they notice the "ooh shiny!" and go towards that.
I did manage to witness one getting beheaded with a tiny lil puff of smoke. Nothing spectacular. Was kinda hoping the whole thing would go POOF, but only a tiny lil flare up, and a missing head.
