I’m trying to figure this one out. My 8 year old child can catch live flies with his bare hand. 100% of the time. Nothing wrong with the flies, just healthy common house flies. He has been doing this for months and I’ve watched him. He just reaches out and catches the flies between his fingers and when he releases them they either fly away or crawl around on his hand for a moment before flying off. How is this possible? If I move slightly in direction of a house fly they take off. He is more successful at catching them gently with his hand than I am with a fly swater.
