  1. They fly, eat, and reproduce in the brains of conservatives.


  2. houseflys dont sleep, they "fly," eat and reproduce until they die.. usually in 24 hours.

  3. When its dark, they tend to like to rest on the ceiling in the house. Here's a quote from a good web page "The flies are inactive at night, with ceilings, beams and overhead wires within buildings, trees, and shrubs, various kinds of outdoor wires, and grasses reported as overnight resting sites. In poultry ranches, the nighttime, outdoor aggregations of flies are found mainly in the branches, and shrubs, whereas almost all of the indoor populations generally aggregated in the ceiling area of poultry houses."

  4. I can add for you this:

    Many  insects basically experience "time" in a very different way than we do. And I would say it is more like lots of these insects (spiders too) slip into what is much more like catatonic comas than sleep.

    Many insects can freeze over like tiny little ice cubes for months and even years in the right conditions I think. They completely stop their metabolism. It makes a cave bear look like a novice when it comes to hibernating.

    When you see a fly brushing itself off, then completely still, and you're completely still, and nothing else is moving,

    and you wonder what the fly is thinking..  To tell you the truth it might not be thinking anything at all

    until something happens.

    And also with many critters, their nervous systems, chemistry and brains seem to me to be much more about reacting than planning anything.

    Birds cats and dogs and such, seem to show much more patterns of individual planning, and sleep.

    If you've never seen a warm-blooded feathered bird sleep, thEy do. They sleep on a branch, they sleep on one leg at a time.

    A bird on one leg is usually a bird asleep. The leg is evolved not to bend or let go on its own with all the bird's weight on it like that.

    Some animals sleep with one half of the brain at a time. That kind of thing happens a lot in the ocean I think.
