Question

How come its so difficult to snap a housefly whereas comparitively so much easier to kill a mosquito??????????

Answer 1

its difficult to kill a housefly than mosquito because house fly foremost has multiple compoud eyes apart from that it has hair on its body so if we move our hand towards it the change in air pressure alarms the fly and it escpaes but if we try to kill it by movin somthin from both sides then it wud be esier to kill it coz it gets confused as to whre to fly..!

Answer 2

The structure of the housefly's eye is what makes them harder to swat.  They can see you coming.  A surefire but messy way to confuse the housefly and result in a confirmed kill is to slowly bring your hands up on each side of the resting fly then smash your hands together quickly - yeah - I know YUCK!!!! - but somehow it confuses their compound eye.  Also they may be smarter than mosquitoes.....

Answer 3

oh!! now i have found the answer....

     that's what i couldn't snap you ???

         does it  sounds perfect????

Answer 4

know what you mean. EVERYTIME i get fly spray from cupboard the flies vanish. how do they know! yet other pests just sit there. ready to die.

Answer 5

i so know what u mean....ive spent my whole childhood desperately trying to trap flies under glasses or whatever...i guess its just because they are able to fly much faster than mosquitoes and have better reflexes...mosquitoes are maybe too busy sucking up blood to notice that this huge hand is going to smash them into bits in a few seconds...! hope i helped =)

Answer 6

B'coz mosquitoes have to dig their sting deep inside our skin, so they are unable to fly quickly. Comparatively house fly is 10 times more quicker than man.

pkn

Answer 7

probably cause the mosquitos are too busy sucking your blood, but at the moment there is a fly flying around my head as we speak and its pissing me off so bad!

Answer 8

probably cause misquitos fly slower. and they dont fly away when your about to smash them!
