Research has discovered that flies hate Zebra stripes! One study found that flies landed on zebra stripes at one fourth of the rate they landed on horses. The theory is that the stripes create an optical illusion that makes it difficult for flies to land on the zebra’s skin and bite. This is because they are unable to accurately gauge the zebra’s size, shape, and distance due to the striped pattern. Additionally, the black and white stripes of the zebra pattern are thought to be effective at dissipating heat and helping in the regulation the horse’s body temperature.
