i am watching a couple of tiny fruit flies hovering around in my office for like at least half an hour at this point and they still do their thing without any sign of stopping, how this is possible? they are tiny, they are ugly, they barely have any flesh/fat to store energy so how the hell they do it? I can understand the big bois like horse flies or bumblebees but these are really smole. What is the efficiency of their flight organs?

At their weight, air is basically liquid. They are swimming through air. Gravity has almost no impact, which is why when you knock a insect off a desk and they hit the floor, the are 100% unscathed despite falling the proportional equivalent of a skyscraper’s distance.
