how the hell flies can fly for extended durations without landing or resting?

193 views

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?

They’re incredibly light. Things that small and with so little mass basically play by different rules.

Some small animals actually use their electric charge to move through the air, it’s basically levitation. Those baby spiders that use silk strands to fly to new territory can do that.
