now I KNOW some might find this cruel but... when my brother was a lad he decided to experiment and put a fly in a bottle of water, capped the bottle and the froze it.....when he defrosted it the next day the fly "thawed out" and was still alive and subsequently flew away . How long can these critters hold their breath....????!!!!

I was laughing, imagining what the fly was thinking as it flew away - "what the *�%@ happened then?!"

[weeal]

I imagine it coughing n splutterng like a wee plane in trouble, ready for the death dive

I believe flies "breathe" through their version of skin, fly killer gets absorbed though this and into their nervous system and then it's lights out.
