whats your fav bug/insect fact?

fly poop can look really similiar to blood splatter so it can potentially mess with a crime scene. flies will feed upon a corpses tissues and then deposit their own spit and poop which ends up looking like the stains that were already left by the victim which can confuse a bloodstain analyst because they look the exact same and chemically test the same. imagine a forensic doing a blood sample and it's just poop from a fly butt
