The AR-15 of Flyswatters!.................

Air pollution is having an unbelievable effect on flies, altering how they attract one another and mate.
What’s happening?
Insects typically find their mates by heavily relying on pheromones –– chemicals that allow males and females to locate each other and mate.
These pheromones are distinctive to males and females of a species, and in the case of flies, they are being disrupted and degraded by the pervasive increase of ozone in the air, which is a result of air pollution.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Germany discovered these effects by developing an experiment that mimicked ozone levels similar to what is measured during the summertime in cities.
Typically, male flies’ pheromones attract females while simultaneously repelling other males. But increased ozone levels caused a decrease in pheromones, which caused females to be less attracted to males and led to courtship between male flies.
“We could explain that males started courting each other after a short ozone exposure because they obviously could not distinguish ozonated males from females,” said researchers Nanji Jiang and Markus Knaden. “However, we had not thought about this before. Therefore, we were quite puzzled by the behavior of the ozone-exposed males, which lined up in long courtship chains.”

Turning the freaking frogs Ghey!
Is it just gay flies or is it really LGBTQ flies? Are there flies self-identifying as a different gender?
RE: an increase in the LGBTQ population of flies]
Why is that a bad thing? I thought we want to decrease the population of flies....
Science is dead, we are virtually in a new dark age. Models and studies are the new spells and incantations
Ahh, those silly creative writers at the Babylon Bee.
Funny stuff.
Wait, what?
I am betting something is intentionally being sent in the skies.

Tranny flies. How soon will they be made a protected class? Buy your fly swatters now, pretty soon they’ll be illegal.
It’s a gay, gay world. I have it on good authority that many Mayflies are self identifying as grass hoppers these days
Wasn’t there research and development of pesticides or chemicals that were designed to specifically destroy the female (or was it the male) of a species? In that case, what recourse would be left for the ‘horny’ leftover of a species?
If all human females were to be somehow gone from the planet, what would the males do? And vice-versa? No doubt tht the species would die out, but in the meantime, it’s either homosexuality or bestiality. I would prefer jumping off a cliff myself.

I noticed the flies were acting differently this year...They went for the flowers instead of the poo. And their wings were kinda pinkish.
A grant to fuel any agenda is now what we call “science”.
FLY LIVES MATTER
My gas stove turned my children gay?
I hope the fly community is able to provide the required hormone blockers and doctors to help them transition.
On noez!
Less Flies????
This is horrible!!!!11!1~~~
They discovered the Gay Aerosol.
The flies need reparations. Billions!!
