So, I have been working in a pretty big music store for about three months now. I have noticed something very very interesting that I have not come across any where else.
Apparently, since it is the proper season, there have been a numerous amount of flies buzzing around. They are your average domestic house fly, but they do not act like it.
Normally, flies react 12 times faster then any human due to their complex eyes. But these flies have a substantially reduced reaction time. I can easily swat them down.
Further more, these flies will land on a keyboard as I am playing it, and will not fly away as I press up and down on the key an inch away. I have put my hand next to them, had them crawl on me, and even handed the fly to a customer, who then handed it to his son.
So my question is, and I searched on Google and found no information, does loud volume have an effect on these flies that make them really chill? Is it music, or loud noise in general?
Does anyone else work at a music store, such as guitar center that might have noticed similar behavior?
