I assume it’s a 100% chance of death for the fly but IDK. Maybe they can stay in the air long enough to slow down? I’m not sure how fly flight can work at that speed.

    Uh, I assure you, if a fly hits something at a relative 75mph it’s not just going to be stunned.

    You can kill a fly (though usually only stun) by smacking it out of the air with you hand, which has a max speed of ~22mph.

    75mph is closer to a flick (though I believe a flick can go up to 100mph). A flick is enough to cause a fly to explode.

    ETA: Not sure why I didn’t just say hitting a fly at 75mph with your windshield is more than enough to make it into paste.

      A flick is enough to cause a fly to explode.

      If you slap it directly against a wall. Then yes. But if you hit it mid air it’s just a stun.
