Yes , they do take off backwards. It is a tactic through evolution developed by being attacked head on by predators. Cool trick: At a party, find a fly on a counter or wherever it has landed. Instead of trying to catch by the head, move your hand in slowly from the rear, then move fast and he`ll fly right into your hand.
