If you hang up a clear plastic bag of water, does it really keep flys away? If it does...how?

I have tried this exact thing out of curiosity and found that it did not work.  The reason given as to why it would work was that the water acts as a lens and causes the light to be reflected around the area under treatment.  the flashing light is supposed to keep flies away.  I guess my flies just hadn't read the book on this method of repelling flies because it did not work. I even tried using several bags of water.... no luck.  My evaluation of this idea is that it is a bunch of bologna.  Just another urban myth.  Maybe the guys on Mythbusters will do an experiment with this idea.

I have seen butterflies in very light rain but they apparently find safe harbor in heavy rains as do most animals. They have a powdery substance on their wings which probably would not do well to get wet and possibly cause them to no longer be able to fly.\nThis is a really cool website on butterflies..you might like to check it out.\nhttp://www.christiananswers.net/kids/butterflies.html

The clouds hang in the air due to buoyancy (density of water vapour is less than air). At higher altitudes the air becomes thinner and force of buoyancy is lesser. so they cant hang at higher altitudes.

Most plastic "pollutes" because it doesn't degrade quickly.  Thus it forms unsightly litter, and sometimes kills small animals that might get caught in the bag.

first of all it wont look too good... thats a lot of pee!!! next, they must  have on water proff  clothing, it will be all over then. lastly, the terminal velocity is -2... they are pissing against the wind! thank God they have enough sense to be strapped down, otherwise youll have a lot of chooped  hambugger to deal with

Quickly put both hands over your nose so the fly is trapped inside. Then put your head under water for ten minutes and I guarantee the fly will die.

Water often contains a great deal of suspended air - but it is not visable as they are very small.  When you shake the water, the little bubbles start bumping into each other, and if they are big enough, you will see them.  If they are big enough to see, they will float to the top and pop!\n\nIf you have an aerator on your kitchen sink you can get lots of bubbles from shaking water.  Water that has sat in a bottle undisturbed for a while has most of its bubbles gone.

I do not want to look at poop in a plastic bag. And no can't say I have ever had the occasion to poop in a plastic bag. But I guess if you were in a 18 wheeler with one of those men who are absolute non-stop for anything road driving aholics, then you would do pretty much anything for some relief.\nI know one woman told me to never start out for Calf. without stopping and buying a Big Gulp for future and further use.

just measure how much water they lose to the atmosophere some how and keep track of the amount of water you have added over a period of time. \nThis should be an interseting experiment.

both will have a miniscus and this is due to the adhesive property of water. the cohesive property keeps the water molecules togherter but the adhesive props allow for movement as in a cappilary tube. the gLass is clearer than the plastic so im thinking glass

When trout fishing a long stream I will normally keep my fish on a stringer and in the water. This not only keeps the flies off of them during the hotter summer days but also the meat will not taste as fishy if they are kept alive and water temperature as long as possible.

You could be retaining water.

Heat air goes up in circles and flies just use air to help during their annoying activity. \n\nIn center of your room, air will invcrease temperature and being pushed by your walls temp. Then, in middle of it, you will have a small imperceptle "hurricane" of hot air. \n\nYou will hardly see it in ope spaces and excelent curiosity gift; \n\nlooks that you have a lot of free time.
