Interesting article, so when you thought that wasp/bee is out to get me, you could be right.


If the researchers are right, it means the annoying bluebottle or wasp that will not leave you alone is choosing to be a pest.


And it doesn't stop there.


Understanding the mechanisms involved may also lead to development of free-thinking robots, bringing science fiction to life.


It talks about an experiment done with fruit flys seem to indicate they make choices, although the article does no go into any real detail.


But an international study of fruit flies has shown that cannot be the case - the flies tested appeared to make choices.


More on link.
