It's not a trick. See how you can revive a seemingly drowned fly with salt.
Insects breath through spiracles in their skin. He definitely drowned the fly and the salt was used to draw the water out of the flies body to revive it.Stick to the freezer trick of reviving a fly, it doesn't quite require drowning the thing.
Coooooool, but is it really useful? Baaaah: who cares? XD
lol "lazarus rise from the dead"....from CNC3 right?
I think there's a breathing organ on the fly's legs/feet that closes up when they're in water to keep them from drowning. They look dead but they're really in some sort of stasis to keep them from dying.
What is the science behind this? Anybody know?
supposedly the fly never drowns and the salt isn't necessaryit's got heightened survivabilities.... therefore it's just shockedand time is all that helps it mobilize -- this is the same for frozen flies.
