Here’s another video of bees falling out of the sky when the lights go out. I’m surprised it’s an on/off choice for them - no graceful trying to glide to land or anything like that, they literally just stop flying and plummet. Surely that’s more dangerous than keeping flying? https://t.co/TotxihLywQ

Mathematical Analysis of Fruit Fly Wings Hints at Evolution’s Limits | Quanta Magazine
The scientists saw a narrow range of possible appearances for the wings, which mostly diverged in a small set of characteristics. The variation was concentrated near the hinge of the wing and showed up in a few particular spots, such as the shape of the frontmost vein. Moreover, these variable traits were linked: When one of the traits on a wing was far from the average, the other traits usually were, too.
