P.s. in case you lost sleep over the bug-droplet enigma in yesterday's post, MsQuizzical elegantly pointed out the answer (thanks MsQ) which you will find here :

Quoting the reference "It turns out that flies do this to cool down!  They move a droplet of fluid in and out and of their buccopharyngeal cavity a number of times before eventually swallowing it (Gomes et al., 2018).  This is called bubbling behaviour, which helps them lower their body temperature by evaporative cooling."
