Why Do Flies Take Revenge on Humans?
WouterIf you’ve ever wondered why flies take revenge on humans, you’re not alone. Many animals and plants also take revenge on humans for their actions. Plants release volatile organic compounds that repel or poison an attacker. Other animals, such as crows, will mob the offender or tell their friends about their misdeeds. Researchers have also studied the behavior of pigeons, rats, and coyotes.
Most insects don’t take revenge on humans, since they’re busy trying to survive and mate. Taking revenge doesn’t help them accomplish any of their goals. They only harm people if they perceive them as a threat. And it’s best if we don’t take insects’ revenge on humans.
