Flies have feelings too (apparently)

Well, whaddaya know?

I'd still rather not have them in my space.

Oh, hell no. Reminds me, though, of one of my favorite movie scenes, in "Seven Years in Thibet." The monks, who are working on building a movie theater, I believe, are distressed at digging up worms, because the worms are being cut in half, killed, and otherwise harmed. A compromise is arrived at that creates a committee of worm sifters, a handful of monks who are charged with taking all the dirt that has been dug up for the foundation and sifting it to look for worms, then tenderly laying them aside in new soil.

In my next life, perhaps I could come back as a Thibetan worm? But not a fly. Definitely not.

Worms cut in half survive, don't they? As long as you don't harm the saddle...

I don't know... the movie didn't go into the anatomical details of worms, dead or alive.
