Why fruit flies used an experiment and net humans?
I am assuming you mean 'Why are fruit flys used in experiments and not humans?' in which case the answer is there are so many fruit flies and they are not really neccicary to us humans. Also if something goes wrong, humans could die or get mentally ill. Fruit flys just croak over and aren't missed. Correct me if I am wrong please.

Fruit flies come from outside. They are small enough to pass through screens. They do not spontaneously generate from over ripe/rotting fruit.
If a fly is in a car that is traveling sixty MPH is the fly flying at sixty MPH?
No, the fly's speed is relative to the space it is in, the air it is flying in is moving with the car, but static inside. It would, however, be different if the windows were open. The same would apply to environments like inside of an airplane or a train. Also, the earth travels trough space at over 17,000 kilometers per hour, when you are walking down the street, you aren't walking that fast.
Were maggots ever used in curing meat?
I have never heard of such a case. By their nature maggots ( the larval form of various blow flies) are destructive of dead tissue rather than a preservative. Indeed curers and preservers of meat go to great lengths to avoid infestation by maggots in such products as air dried hams by using mesh fly screens and protective fabric bags for the drying hams.
Interestingly maggots have been used and are still used to remove dead tissue from wounds in humans. The maggots only eat dead tissue leaving the living tissue intact. While superficially an unattractive process it does reduce the need for continual surgical intervention to remove the dead tissue.
How high could a horsefly fly if a horsefly could fly high?
A horsefly could fly as high as the sky, but I'd just shoot it down and it'll die. Now you don't need to ask how high it could fly if it could fly high, now please don't be upset and please don't cry. Tell your sister that I said hi.
My house is filled with drain flies. Need step-by-step instruction to locate the breeding area?
Process of elimination. First get some household bleach and put it into a spray bottle. Take this and spray about 5 squirts in every sink in the house. Be sure to spray the overflow openings in the bathroom sinks. Do the same in the overflow openings in the tubs. Place a banana peel on an open space and get rid of the flyers with either a vacuum cleaner or use a soap mixture in a spray bottle to kill the ones in flight. Hope this helps! When my husband and I had drain flies in our apartment we tried pouring every chemical we could think of into the drains. Bleach, tub & tile cleaner, CLR....everything. When none of that helped we had to get our landlord and a plumber involved. The plumber explained to us that drain flies lay their eggs in the film surrounding the inside of the pipes and water/liquid will not destroy them until they hatch so often when you get rid of them for a few days or so they come right back. We had to get a crack in the pipe repaired and professionally cleaned before we finally got rid of the problem. Good luck!

How does a fly get trapped in amber?
Amber is solidified tree sap. Thousands of years ago, the fly landed on a patch of sticky tree sap, and became stuck, unable to move. The sap continued to flow, encasing it completely, preserving it from decay. The sap solidified into amber, the fly still inside.
What do a tree and a fly have in common?
Answer:
A question on a standard IQ test. Here are my thoughts:
1) they start their beginnings in the ground.
2) tree leaves and fly wings look similar under a microscope.
The best two answers are:
1) They are both living.
2) They both reproduce.
To say they are both living and they both reproduce is redundant as reproduction is a defining characteristic of that which is living verses that which not:
They are both multi-cellular eukaryote organisms classified under domain Eukarya in the standard biological taxonomy: this covers not only the living part of the answer, but includes also a classification and categorization of forms which lets the psychologist know the complexity of the thought process behind the answer. You could also add the beginning two statements, but to get full credit, you need to state its state of livelihood.
Why can't chickens swallow while upside down?
Chickens swallow differently than we do. We close our mouths and let our throats do the rest. Chickens open and close their mouths rapidly while tilting their heads up, they need gravity to do the rest.
No, flies are not good for compost. The insects in question indicate that something is awry in terms of the composting ingredients or process and that the shortcoming encourages them to lay eggs to produce more flies.
The best answer is as far as they have to. Migrating ducks fly thouands of miles, while domestic breeds rarely fly at all.
