Why can't trapped flies find their way out?

Original: How is that you can open every door and window in a place, and a fly that could find its way in, can't find its way out?

A widely shared observation asks a simple everyday question: a fly can find its way into a house through open doors and windows, yet seems unable to find its way out even when every exit is open. People are discussing the puzzle of insect navigation and why flies appear to trap themselves indoors so easily.

Why now: It is a relatable everyday annoyance that invites playful debate about insect behaviour.
