The Society for the study of flies (Diptera)

I found this forum via a Google search.   My observation may seem completely crazy, but I thought I'd share this here to see if anyone has similar observations, opinions, etc.

In my apartment, I have several plants, and of course a few fungus gnats that dart about.  Mostly, they like to track down moisture (the sink, bathroom, my face).

I usually let them alone, except one recently that met its end at the outside of my shower stall (I swatted it, out of irritation).

Since that time, almost every single day, at that very same spot/vicinity, there is a dead fungus gnat.    There wasn't before (I'm a clean freak, I would notice it).

I can't help but draw some kind of parallel between the death of one fly and the rest of these going there to meet their doom.

That it's not coincidence would suggest a different type of functioning in these little critters, which in and of itself sounds bizarre.

Anyone care to comment... or make fun of me :-)

Forrest
