A Housefly Meets an Electric Trap

A short video captures a housefly landing on a small piece of food held by a metal alligator clip. Positioned directly above the food is an exposed electrical wire. As the fly settles on the bait, the wire is lowered to make contact, creating an electrical circuit that instantly eliminates the insect. The setup demonstrates a simple, high-voltage trap mechanism, with the visual sequence showing the fly's arrival, the descent of the live wire, and the immediate result of the contact.
