I call BS. I don't think their research is relevant - they're using CURRENT data for flies, yet the stripes evolved over a 100,000 years or more. If stripes really kept off flies, all the animals would have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very disappointed to learn that the zebra does not have a striped penis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
