M. Herget in the Journal Science. It was entitled: Reaction Time of the Common Housefly (Musca domestica) Science 14 Jul 1950: Vol. 112, 2898, 62 DOI: In short, the researchers measured how long it takes a fly to react after quickly removing a platform from where it was standing with a bullet. They found that it took the fly around 21 milliseconds to extend its wings and take flight after falling with gravity a small fraction of an inch. That reaction time is more than 12x faster than that of a human. This weekend, I did some testing with colleagues Toni Lucatorto and Kamil Paszkiewicz. Similar to that science paper, we tested how quickly a fly reacts by quickly removing ’the stage’ from where a fly was standing. We did this by firing an arrow through an orange with a crossbow. Interestingly, we found that it took nearly 50 frames (at 6000 frames-per-second) before the fly responded by beating its wings. That’s about 8.3 milliseconds! One thing we can never know... was she already planning to take off? :)
