Why are flies landing on my skil saw?

Question

While cutting plywood in my back yard, two or three house flies would land on my circular saw, hand, or the plywood as soon as i started into the cut. What's the mechanism here?

One of the flies was so in love with my work that the front edge of the saw baseplate was pushing it along the wood.

Answer 1

Was the wood wet in the past.  I have cut plywood and water oozed out. Could someone have spilled something on the wood.  Did the fly look unusual.  There is a stump fly in the forest that is attracted to the stump of a freshly fallen tree to lay its eggs in the wood.

Answer 2

Maybe they thought the saw was like "super fly" because of the noise it was making. IDK. Either that or they just liked the vibration maybe? Weird!
