Does anyone know this fly? It was flying in my living room slowly while doing sharp turn from time to time. zcuc attached the following image:  [111.72Kb] Edited by zcuc on 16-12-2007 11:29 |

I uasally see those flies group circling an arbitrary point in the air with sharp turns i.e flying in polygon formation. Does anyone know why they do that? I can understand that flying straight is more comfortable but why doing so with groups in the middle of the air? |
