A fly on a touchscreen

Touchscreen technology has changed the way we do many things in our lives. The electric connection created by our fingers and other items makes mobile devices and large touchscreens easier to use in many cases, particularly for web browsing. It makes it possible for insects to surf as well. This video of a fly surfing Reddit shows two things: the screen is sensitive enough to detect the current as it travels through the fly’s small legs and the fly itself has good taste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJrLTsmPDd4
