I have looked at the sources and some related sites - flicker fusion rate is indeed used as a proxy for the the rapidity with which light is detected. Of course evasion involves - detection, nerve signal transfers, and muscle movement - all of which contribute to reaction speed so it is unclear what
514:"Flies process visual information around seven times more quickly than humans, enabling them to identify and avoid attempts to catch or swat them, since they effectively see the human's movements in slow motion with their higher flicker fusion rate."

This statement "Houseflies have been used in the laboratory in research into ageing and sex determination." is not correct. This research was done with
Drosophila melanogaster not Musca domestica. See AND

It is correct. You are right that fruit flies have been important model organisms, but if you read the cited sources for the housefly (see the

you are pointing too - the human (in)ability to swat flies or the flies' ability to evade? The text refers to the latter.
