How Do Flies Bite?

- How do flies bite? In this video, we explore the answer. Biting flies have six "blades" on their faces. These are also called "stylets". Each stylet has a specific role in the biting process. The stylets that we see in this video come from a horse fly.

I see no problem :3
Yes he could. The "straw" is more like a vacuum cleaner rubber tube with a suction cup that slides over the surface
I have a criticism. He said "wood files" which are a thing but then the video showed files for metal. It would have been better to just say "files." I have no idea why they said wood files, just kinda weird, really.
This dude made a biting fly sound like a top secret torture contraption.
Fr, I couldn't tell whether he was describing a Saw trap or a fly's mouth
He made it sound wholesome fr
If you've ever been bitten by a horse fly, you'd understand the fly itself gives the impression it's a torture device just fine on its one.
😂😂
A tse tse fly is a very painful torture
Bro just likes telling us a horror story with the most relaxed music theme.
What's wrong with this generation saying "bro" in the beginning of every sentence?
It's the internet mind your business @@SweetDemon11
@@SweetDemon11 It's just for the Meme, relax and don't let the flies bite you.
@@SweetDemon11 Bro, it's not that serious.

I’ve never been so interested in a fly video until now

I love how this video cheerfully explains how a fly uses "blades", "scissors" and "files" to eat me.
Drink you
Plus a lil straw. They forgot to mention the little umbrella they add for yays☂️
Yeah, what's wrong with teeth? Nature could have just stopped at teeth and called it a day.
@@EchoWhiskey11 To feed on a large mammal, a tiny fly has to bite through enough tough skin to break into a blood vessel. It's just millimeters to us, but it's like digging a hole to them. We are blood wells for flies, and that. That is their shovel. I hate this channel.
@@diegolucano3354 Awwww, that's adorable and I love this channel again

Normally when I watch stuff like this I get unsettled, grossed out, and traumatized. But for some reason the way you describe everything just seems so peaceful.
Maybe it's your voice. Maybe it's the way you present it. Either way this is very educational and somewhat soothing.
Thank you😊
Dude is like the Bob Ross of horrific biology.
I both hated and absolutely adored this explanation
It’s really just as good as every other video by this channel
Flies: bite now, pain now
Mosquitos: bite now, pain later
No man for mosquitoes it would bite now, itch later
I'll take the pain of a fly bite over a mosquito itch any day.
But fly bites also itch for as long as mosquito bites itch
Lmao. Why do I hear this as a foreigner who owns a grocery store talking about buy now pay now or buy now pay later? Lmao 🤣
Mosquitos are flies ;)
Like, literally
My hatred for flies just quadrupled, thank you for the information!
And cockroaches don't forget the cockroaches! 🪳
Every bug shot, bugs k
The turkey baster did it for me
I am now terrified of flies now... thanks
I love the dramatic music at the end like the bite was brutal! 😂
Such a horrifying image with such a calming voice.
10/10
And the cute lil jazzy chords? I’m horrified and relaxed at the same time!

The contrast between the tone and the subject being explained is delightful.
Wonderfully said
It's like if Mr Rogers was explaining it...
extraordinary brilliant i must say
Terrifying
“Made up of… six small blades…”
*soothing piano note plays
This explanation is literally magical
you have the calmest voice I've ever heard in a week, I'm grateful
I'm glad he clarified biting flies as compared to all flies. Can't have everyone living with intense fear of common non-biting flies.
The non biting flies smother shit on your dinner.
Your welcome.
No thanks @@RAMROD1847
Thank you, now I calmed down
@@RAMROD1847I think it’s vomit too, non biting ones puke up on food so that it dissolves and they can digest it trough their straw mouth
Yesss!! I was like “does this count as house flys too!?” got me overthinking now✋🏾😭

Especially when theirs a flie flying around in your room
No joke iam abt to sleep rn then i saw this video 😭

True
Legit watching this at 12:30, I got caught in the loop @-@
Wonder how you made this video so calming and nice with a icky subject for people who hate insects, honestly wonderful!! Good job!
If you combine all the pieces it will become a legendary sword
Flies got a whole Swiss Army Knife built in!!
Some other species of flies will simply just puke (excrete) bile liquid onto their chosen food source and then vacuum it up with a proboscis (straw-like appendage found on butterflies/moths too)
@@alecmiller6084 Yeah, I know of this method that the common house fly uses as well.
BILL TIN
Clearly created
That's insects as a whole for you.
Good news is, I'm no longer afraid of needles.
Bad news is I'm now afraid of Fly "teeth"
Yeah, next time I get bit, this video is going to cross my mind. I definitely will feel more violated.
I was once bitten by a either a deer or horse fly which carried bad bacteria which caused infection painful cluster of holes in my legs had to take anti biotics for weeks and caused permanent scars. If left untreated would've maybe caused sepsis and death
Just look at a needle under a microscope and that fear will come back
@@danielsonn3046
Do you feel better now sir?
@@pillow1557 yes was a few years ago

My kids really enjoyed this, very educational!
I like the contrast between his calm voice and the fact that fly bites are them stabbing, piercing and devouring us like oranges
The charming piano at the end made me laugh 😭
Bro, how do you eat your oranges?
Oranges?
That liquid is acidic (btw).
They'd turn us into a slushy if the oxygen was at 50% and the pressure was a wee bit higher.
Imagine if flies were bigger than they are now. Someone should make a horror movie out of that.
Wow, I cannot thank you enough for putting this visual representation permanently in my mind.

Bored MFS proceeding to forget about this in the next few hours:
Fascinating video! Those biting flies seem well-designed for their vocations. Very interesting stuff. Thank you for sharing this with us 👍
Very interesting. I just learned something new. Great video.
"Just one last short"

Best and truest comment of my day

And now I’m afraid of flies.
Now seriously, this is a very good way to explain things. I bet I won’t forget it any time soon because the explanation is so visual and practical.
Unlocked a new phobia
If school was taught like this, I’d be a genius. The sounds in the back and how he speaks just woke up my inner child and I was attentive the entire time.
This is why everyone remembers Bill Nye

@@xoneqraft I'll tell you, go watch The Fly (1998)

The way he's using those tools is more scary than a real bite 😂😂
This feels like a Japanese children’s educational show. Love it
I'm begrudgingly liking this video, because it was both educational and made my skin crawl
Same 😂😂😂
Once a fly bit me,I jumped inside the pool to get that beautiful chlorine in the wound to disinfect it,LOL 😂
That is a perfect description of my feelings right now.
Exactly...
The fact that some flies have built-in wound-disturbers is the most resentful/metal thing I can think of
the fuc* do you think teeth are in your mouth
They need their blood sir.
“Metal”
Horse and deer flies they are also painful and some can carry bad parasites and bacteria
The edits had me dying. Also congrats on graduating!
Damn flies flying around with a whole toolbox on their face
this is why giant predatory insects are one of the scariest tropes
"Can you explain this like I'm 4 years old?"
This guy:
I feel like a traumatized 4 year old right now
Vividly remembering that one time I got bit by a horsefly as a kid and was in disbelief that flies could even bite
Im an engineering student,i would love to find a channel that explained engineering problems the way u explain biology,cause its genius.
Have a look at the engineer guy and real engineering
@@astraios3473 damn man,its what i was looking for!thank you so muchh :)
Eyyy
It may sound dumb, but hear me out. I'm an engineer and work with a lot of non technical people. One day I was explaining how a centrifugal pump works to my 5 year old, and she explained it back in her vocabulary to make sure she got it. In this example, she described it as being like a floor fan for liquids.
Now, obviously it can be made to suit the audience a bit better, but if you have a 10-12 year old, I bet you could get some great simplification on complex problems.
@@andyslaven5538 very interesting,is like asking for opinion of something happening in the world to someone that doesnt watch tv or see internet
“Why are you scared? Its just a little fly!” The fly:
I love the way this guy visualizes his videos for us
Bro the soft music and the clear explanation is super calming to my inner child because like, as a kid i was always curious but i feel like the things i wondered about were never fully answered so this feels healing in a way idk ❤
Suddenly those giant fly enemies in Dark Souls 3 just became ten times scarier
😈
Except they literally have human mouths, and not any of the proboscises shown in this vid?
@@victorvillegas911 Nah, that just makes me think they have two jaws now; the “human” mouth is a front for their hidden saw blade teeth and that one tooth that’s basically a straw? Yeah that one would explain how they projectile vomit those bleed inducing leeches on to the player.
Great, now I’m even more freaked out by those enemies. Never trust a giant insect that smile “humanly” at you.
Crazy how such small creatures can still evolve to be so complex
Guess what some people still think this was an accident
@@mohamedkhalid5848lol so it's god made a little monster that sucks human's blood? What a good god 😂 fuck that god then
Sure it looks like that, but it didn't just appear out of sudden. You can see related groups have more/less complex structures like those
If it helps make more sense flies aren't small at all they are made of hundreds of thousands of cells with many moving parts of their own. They just seem small to us, but were just bigger, it's like comparing a sky scrapper to a mountain
@@mohamedkhalid5848Ffs evolution by natural selection does not only involve random mutations. It's more nuanced than 'species evolve by accident'. Learn how it actually works before rejecting or criticizing it but of course you won't do that because you've already decided what the truth is haven't you?
Man made a science fair diorama in one short 💀💀
I’ve never been so afraid of flies in my life
As a pest control tech and soon to be associates Entomologist I have to say this explanation was 100% perfect in every way
as a non-bioengineer/non-entomologist , i have to say, im currently getting poptart crumbs all over my sheets.
Mad props for that fabric blood effect
Ikr!?😂
My life would have been significantly better if I had never found this video. Somewhere out there, there is a version of me that saw the thumb nail and was smart enough to keep scrolling. He doesn't know how lucky he is.
This had the cadence and vocal tone of a children’s educational program, yet it’s about how flies eat you
The background chimes and stuff bring me such a huge sense of childhood nostalgia and I can’t get enough of it
same for me. i wonder why
Same. I love it ironically combined with content like this 😂
Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood vibes
I’m so happy you noticed that as well
The videos on this channel exist in this very narrow space between "incredibly soothing" and "incredibly terrifying"
Incredibly disturbing told in the most soothing manner😅
Dio Brando
Yes
Im sorry, this was so beautifully presented. Wow
I love how this is emphasized with gentle music as if it were for 5 year olds to learn the wonders of parasitic flies and how they grossly violate their target
That is far more equipment than I'd ever expect on a fly. Incredible!
I like how you titled the video and then in the video you explained exactly how flies bite. Thats strangely rare on RUclips
the most calm channel for the most terrifying topics 💀
new fear unlocked: biting flys
i don’t think there is anyone more deserving of a netflix show than you man i want hour long segments of this
No way, some fake historic documentary about Cleopatra and ancient alien definitely more deserving 😂
I vote within 10 min well all be asleep
That large scale representation was terrifying
You make them sound so scary
You gave me a large fear of horse flies
Please keep doing stuff like this, no fact is too small, and even the most boring of subjects have gems
Yeah, I wanna know how the scrotum works. What goes on behind that mysterious leathery curtain?
How does it keep moving when changes temperature? You could use a muppets version of a ball bag that waves at us before it comes towards us with the melodic piano and satisfying fluid sounds and end with a splat.
What else could they do?
Bro chose the calmest music for the scariest subject LOL 😂
Edit: OMG 1K LIKES! (I usually get 2 or 3)
Edit 2: okay… ALMOST 3 THOUSAND!? CAN SOME OF YOU SUBSCRIBE PLS!?
He really puts the gentle piano sounds in the shorts to make them fascinating. His music in the shorts is very nice.
I felt like I was watching Mr.Rogers😂
Thought it was more breath of the wild
You're weak for thinking this is scary
@ximirux2408 yea, it's just facts.
What a great way to explain in a funny way, everyone can understand your explanation even if it is a small child
I am very convinced that this guy is the real-life version of TF2 Medic.
I never thought I would choose to and be actively excited to learn about insect biology but your channel makes it so.
Wow that was so explicit. I didn't think I could hate biting flies any more than I did before watching this.
My dyslexic ass saw the thumbnail and thought I was about to watch a video about how a file bites.
I've never been bitten by a fly, but it's been close a couple of times with horse-flies, and having been told that those pretty much "rip" off your skin, I'm glad I've most had regular house flies around.
When you really think about it, this is a horror short 😅
Was you're dad ate by flies when he went to get milk?
Unless your a corpse this isn't scary kids are curious and will not find this terrifying.
And for adults Flies are fat inefficient mosquitoes without malaria.
I'd be more afraid of there eggs as an adult as that's how they get you by numbers.
I didn’t even have to think about it the fly has a fucking swiss army knife of chaos in it’s mouth
Calling that a bite is like calling being hit by a train 'a bump'
Yeah bro straight up operation going on your arm
@@north6star my favourite part was the two serrated parts of the mouth sawing at the wound lol that's too savage even for nature
Nature created the Shrike, so no it's not lol.

No HIGH KEY terrifying experience 😭
The way of explaining is such ❤❤ fantastic

I can't explain it but the demonstration of the straw was the best bit.

These videos are so unsettling to me yet I can't stop watching them
The phone died when the translator was supposed to say you've been skeeted in 4k in spanish.
"AS SIDO SKEEDTED EN 4k EN VIVO."😂
When i was a scout, the summercamp we went to every year was horrible for the horseflies that would land on top of your head and bite you on your way to anything. We figured out if we held a stick straight up above our head they would try to land on that instead. It was quite a sight to see packs of young boys walking around with sticks like that.
Wait, that actually works?! 🤔
Modern problems require caveman solutions 😂

Whoever played the piano in this short deserves a lot, and I mean A LOT of credit for how fascinating this short is. The first chord sets you up, makes you need more. Small resolution, but incomplete. Some question sounding notes like you're hopping on stones across a creek. Then, the perfect complete resolved chord at the end. It's so pleasing 😍.
Okay Beethoven, chill out.
“I can do, the cowboy accent..”
“Howdy partNEr.”

The whole short is set up like that the sound effects like the cutting or the fly drinking it's all just to please your brain although it annoys the hell out ofe cause I hated how cringe these videos were even in school
