Lazarus, rise from the dead!

This video intrigues me for its social implications. Frankly, I am not racing to personally replicate this tutorial.

I am so trained to the concerns of PETA and the Humane Society, that there is something oddly compelling about watching a fly get tortured. Soon, I suspect, a video such as this will be declasse.

Until then, time to appreciate the diverse fascinations of all DIY kin.

supposedly the fly never drowns and the salt isn't necessary

it's got heightened survivabilities.... therefore it's just shocked

and time is all that helps it mobilize -- this is the same for frozen flies.

I think supposedly that the water leaches out into the salt, like salt preserved meat. The water wants to be equally distributed, and wicks out into the slat to try an achieve equilibrium.Maybe you can dehydrate the water saturated fly by keeping putting it in salt????

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.

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.
