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.
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
Bro chose the calmest music for the scariest subject LOL 😂
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.
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 😂
“These blades pierce the skin and slice it open”
The music: 🎵🎹🎶
I know the is amazing.
🤣🤣🤣
"Like a pair of scissors!" 😃🥰
Breath of the Wild Vibes xD
Like Mr Rogers
“Inside the mouth of every biting fly are… ✨🎶… 6 small blades.”

The absolute irony is, the thumbnail for this video showed the files and I read files when it was actually saying flies. I'm into machining type videos and what not so I thought this was along the lines of something I usually watch. Lucky for this channel, and myself, I'm also into biology and I'm surprised I am only just now hearing about this channel! Excellent content. I've already subscribed and shared it with my family!
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
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
Such a horrifying image with such a calming voice.

Especially when theirs a flie flying around in your room
No joke iam abt to sleep rn then i saw this video 😭
Same@@omn4682
True
Legit watching this at 12:30, I got caught in the loop @-@
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.
flies be bitting me with crysknifes
You literally explained like I was 5. Someone actually understood the assignment for once
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✋🏾😭
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
This demonstration is terrifying.
New subscriber. Your voice, music, and “animation” make this the BEST and most well put together channel and video I have seen in a LONG time. ❤
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.
"Do you have flies that bite?"
"No, we have flies that cut, file, dissolve and suck"

I just found out this channel and I immediately got addicted.
Love the info, the narration, the music
I love the way this guy visualizes his videos for us
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.

They need their blood sir.
“Metal”
Horse and deer flies they are also painful and some can carry bad parasites and bacteria
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
I knew I recognized your voice man, I used to love reading weird but true, when they made a show that was great! Love to see you still expressing your love for science ❤️
I love the visual presentation you did, well done!
this is why giant predatory insects are one of the scariest tropes
Mad props for that fabric blood effect
Ikr!?😂
Idk where this man has been in my algorithm but I missed him so much
A way better that schools programs in 60 seconds . Great job 👍
“Why are you scared? Its just a little fly!” The fly:
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.
Homo sapiens happen to think that they are the best species ever.
And yes they are one of the longest surviving ones. But frankly most of the other species are so much more fascinating and ammmazing in themselves.
From plants that eat flies to flues or insects that eat plants to creatures that eat each other and the numerous adaptations that each of them has.
This🤍💙 was so wonderfully animated and married that I can even send it to my senior citizen aunt who does not know much English language.
Actually neither do I.. but the clarity of speech and audio was PERFECTLY done.. without any distracting or irritating background sound effects or music.
Thank you again🙂.
My kids really enjoyed this, very educational!
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.
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
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

Biting flies:
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
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 was amazing production! Well done! Entertaining and educational! More! Must have more!
I learned this elsewhere, but this is the best visual explanation of them all!
That is far more equipment than I'd ever expect on a fly. Incredible!
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?
What a visual. Not going to forget that anytime soon. Great props.
Can everything be explained like this?! Perfect explanation and visuals!!
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.
Well, it is for the people on the train
Hahahaha
I never thought I would choose to and be actively excited to learn about insect biology but your channel makes it so.
So basically I'm never letting a fly near me again
Really interesting stuff, and I love the score on these videos. Keep going!!
That large scale representation was terrifying
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
The best use of UA-cam Shorts I have ever seen.
I am now terrified of flies now... thanks
That was the best way to explain this to anyone. Even had visual aids. 10/10
Wow that was so explicit. I didn't think I could hate biting flies any more than I did before watching this.
I could literally sleep to this, it's so calming.
I like this new edutainment subgenre. If it’s not already officially categorized, I have a proposal: Hilarifying.
Smaug the dragon: _"My teeth are swords, my claws are spears, my wings are a hurricane!"_
Bitting fly: _"That's great, but my mouth is a _*_toolshed!"_*
I can't explain it but the demonstration of the straw was the best bit.
Flies bite.
My skin : Feel nothing.
This was so calmly interesting and informative thank you
This was a low key terrifying experience😭
No HIGH KEY terrifying experience 😭
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 😂
👍 This fly is quiet interesting!! Thank you very much for sharing.
Imagine having scissor blades, files, a turkey blaster and a straw attached to your face at all times
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.”
Settle down mozart
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

I'll admit, I saw the thumbnail, and read the title as "How do files bite?"
And I was like, "Do files technically have teeth??"
I read it exactly the same
And the best part is that files actually do have teeth and you could very legitimately say that they bite the metal, and I was genuinely expecting a video about files XD
@@ignasmaciulis1095 :0 -> :D
@@ignasmaciulis1095it's genuinely called biting when files dig into a piece of metal! I was absolutely sure this was a video about files 😂

horse flies are the biters and you should be afraid of them. those bastards hurt, a lot.
I red it as “how do files bite” lmao
I put the short to have some noise until I realized it was you guys and this time remembered to subscribe.You guys would benefit from better thumbnails.

Flies really got a whole factory's worth of machinery just for stealing blood 💀
Not designed to bite and drink blood but fruit. Their current course is result of the fall.
