The common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) is a blowfly found in most areas of the world and is the most well-known of the numerous green bottle fly species. Its body is 10–14 mm (0.39–0.55 in) in length – slightly larger than a house fly – and has brilliant, metallic, blue-green or golden coloration with black markings en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_green_bottle_fly . . . He (Kirkegaard) knew as well the Pascallian cosmic homelessness in its literal form. “The whole existence frightens me, from the smallest fly to the mystery of the Incarnation; everything is unintelligible to me, most of all myself; the whole of existence is poisoned in my sight, particularly myself. ~ Page 28 (THE SIXTH SOLITUDE)

My camera is not good enough to catch his wing beats, ...... Their wings beat over a short arc of about 90 degrees, but ridiculously fast, at around 230 beats per second. Fruit flies, in comparison, are 80 times smaller than honeybees, but flap their wings only 200 times a second. Honeybees' peculiar strategy may have to do with the design of their flight muscles Source of info is internet. . . . The salt-grain size neuropile (brain) of the familiar western honey bee, Apis, mellifera,' houses 960,000 neurons and a staggering number -- 10 to the power of 9 -- of neural synapses. we, the brainy, naked apes, have 85 billion neurons to our credit, with synapses totaling 10 to the power of 25. sound like a lot, but remember that they are houses within a brain that is 1.2 million times larger than that of our flower-visiting honey bee. ~ Page 23 (Excerpt : THE REASON OF FLOWERS"
