If you could pick a superpower, you’d probably choose flight, invisibility, or the ability to mute your boss in real life. But if you work in a modern office—or "The Hive," as we affectionately call it—you might already have superpowers. Unfortunately, they are the superpowers of a fly.
And they are disgusting.

Welcome back to A Business of Flies, where we dig into the sticky, buzzing reality of Dipteran science to figure out why your 9-to-5 feels so weird. Today, we aren't talking about efficiency or synergy. We are talking about tasting the floor with your feet and cooling down by throwing up.

Grab your hazmat suit. Let’s dive in.

Superpower #1: The Tarsal Palate (Or: "Why Does This Spreadsheet Taste Like Despair?")

Imagine walking into the breakroom. You don't look at the donuts. You don't smell the coffee. You simply step onto the linoleum, and suddenly, your feet scream: "SUGAR!"
This is the daily reality of the fly. Flies possess a biological feature called the Tarsal Palate. Their tarsi (the ends of their legs) are covered in chemosensilla—tiny sensory hairs that detect sugars, salts, and bitters. When a fly lands on your sandwich, it isn't just standing there; it is literally tasting your lunch with its toes.

If the tarsi detect sucrose, it triggers the "proboscis extension reflex". This is an automatic, uncontrollable urge to stick their face into the food they are standing on.

The Corporate Translation: You know that co-worker who can sense "Office Drama" through the floorboards? That’s the Tarsal Palate. They walk into a room, sense the salty vibe of a reprimanded intern, and immediately extend their proboscis (ask prying questions).
Also, be thankful humans don't have this trait. Imagine walking into the office men's room and tasting the floor. Yeah. Let's move on.

Superpower #2: Bubbling (Or: "I'm So Stressed I Could Puke")

We’ve all been in that meeting. The air conditioning is broken, the Q3 projections are red, and you can feel the heat rising in your face. You need to cool down. If you were a human, you’d sweat. If you were a blowfly (Chrysomya megacephala), you would vomit a bubble of stomach fluid onto your face.

This behaviour is called Bubbling. The fly regurgitates a droplet of fluid from its crop (a storage tank in its throat) and holds it on the tip of its nose. The air evaporates the water in the droplet, cooling the liquid down. The fly then re-ingests the cold vomit to lower its internal body temperature by 2–3°C.

The Corporate Translation: This is the "Circle Back" Executive. When the heat is on in the boardroom, they panic. To lower the temperature of the room, they regurgitate a bubble of pre-digested buzzwords: "Synergy," "Pivot," "Deep Dive." They hold this bubble out for everyone to see, let it cool the tension, and then swallow it back down, having added absolutely zero nutritional value to the conversation.

Superpower #3: Flicker Fusion (Or: "I See You Slack-ing in Slow Motion")

Have you ever tried to swat a fly? It feels like they are reading your mind. You swing, and they are already gone. It turns out, they are just watching you move in slow motion.
This is due to Flicker Fusion Frequency (FFF). Humans see continuous motion at about 60 Hz. Flies see it at 250 Hz. This means their brain processes visual information four times faster than yours. To a fly, your lightning-fast swat looks like a leisurely interpretive dance.

The Corporate Translation: This is the Micromanager. You think you can quickly check your phone or switch tabs away from Reddit before they notice? Wrong. Their Flicker Fusion is too high. They saw you open that tab, scroll three times, and close it, all in the time it took you to blink. You cannot hide. You can only buzz.

The next time you feel gross, hot, or hyper-aware of every tiny movement in the office, don't worry. You're just tapping into your inner Diptera. We are all just trying to keep our brains cool and find enough sugar to keep going.
