First thing I do if I see a fly is to observe without judgement. Sometimes, seeing a bug flying relaxes my mind and gives me an opportunity to restore may gratefulness and focus. It is weird but whenever I see a fly, I feel like we are too lucky to be in this world. We are lucky to have the brains we have. Also sometimes, I wonder how does the bug see us in their perspectives. I wonder if they respect us or they think we're stupid beings. I wonder if they see themselves as the upscale beings and we are only a part of their owned world.

This world is really brilliant.

I'm good at catching them alive and have a technique. Killing them is not fun and challenging, even though catching has become also very easy.

You have to put your palm in front of the fly and slowly move the palm towards her. When you are close, like you need maybe few centimeters to close your hand around her, you just sweep very fast forward and close the palm. Fly always fly forward so basicaly it will fly into your palm when you start to move it towards her.

After that it is all about your creativity  Grin


Wow! I didn’t know that. The most annoying experience for me is to see these flies flying around specially when I am eating and I would try to catch it or hit it with something. I don’t know for whatever reason that I cannot even hit or I’m missing it all the time. What is it, they’re too fast or I am too slow?  Grin
It is so irritating and they don’t make me itch but they do make me irritated and my last resort is to take an anti-bug spray and finish them.

This is no joke. This is what happened to me while reading your post.

When I was casually stumbled upon your thread, I was curious like "fly"? Flying during an airplane or something related to flying, but no, a freaking FLY. I understood it, of course, while reading the thread in which I continued being curious. To me, I didn't sense it at first but I was scratching my arm while I was reading it. I became conscious of the part where you said that you had the feeling of itchiness.

Well, it's the first time for me to realize that there is such a study but it's definitely interesting to know.

...they keep on flying into my apartment to spy on me.
Are you sure it is not a miniature Google drone?

I see different kinds of flies ...
 but all of them are nasty.
Iam to kill her as long as she does not approach the food.
 It did not cause me discomfort. But if she does that, I'll roast her.

I feed it to my cat. She loves all kinds of bugs. Once she caught one and carried it in her mouth. The fly was buzzing and the cat was feeling proud and walking around enjoying the moment.

Just remember that a fly is a living being. It shares the same basic circumstances and problems that all of us do.


Food
Reproduction

yes I agree.

I hate flies so I smash them whenever I see them. They are gross and carry too much germs and bacteria.

Just got a silverfish.

Sent him on his way to a tour of the sewer system via the toilet.

Sang him or her the goodbye tune.

 Cheesy Thanks on the report, I was able to imagine you flushing and signing/whistling the tune to him or her  Cheesy

Guess we could rename this thread to something like Close Insect/bug Encounters of The Third Kind and share the reports here  Grin

I have 2 to 3 daily encounters with this guys - The forest bug or red-legged shieldbug (Pentatoma rufipes), they keep on flying into my apartment to spy on me.

I think that falls under contagious behavior. Yawning, smiling and laughing is also on that list.

Never experienced it myself but it looks like someone can get easily affected by his surrounding and perception. I do agree about yawning though, it's contagious + I'm a sleepy guy. But a fly, most of the time I just ignore it.

If it's inside the house, then it must die. I don't want it walking on any food in the kitchen and spreading disease. If it's outside the house, then I just leave it alone.

I go after all bugs in my home hard with the exception of lady bugs.

If I manage to whack the fly.

I flush it into the toilet while I sing “ na na na na hey hey-ey goodbye “

Do you feel like you have to scratch yourself when ... see another person scratch himself?

I was quite surprised when I found out that the itchy sensation you get when seeing or even talking about bugs is very common and frankly, very normal.


Big thanks to you for making my skin start itching after reading this post! It was a curious enough thread title, so I had to open it up and read! Embarrassed
