Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
Today I got an email with the question: "'How' does the fly 'hover'?" And how does the mechanism physically work in the way that it can change direction so quickly. I had to admit to myself that I was lacking this basic knowledge of a behaviour I have seen more than half of my live ;-)<BR>
<BR>
Someone knows (a direction to look for)? <BR>
<BR>
Greetings from almost dry cooked Brussels,<BR>
