Barfing is their love language.♥️ A kinky male fruit fly barfs up a bit of his last meal and offers it as a nuptial meal to his intended. Discerning lady fruit flies swoon, and lap it up. #science #entomology

A single protein makes lovesick flies spill their guts
Producing a male-specific protein in digestion-related neurons may have led to the evolution of an odd “romantic” barfing behavior in one species of fruit flies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday asked the country’s president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges,
seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation.
Netanyahu is the only sitting prime minister in Israeli history to stand trial,
