This is so weird. Thanks for sharing. Curious if there's been a study for animals with longer gestational periods like felines or ferrets.

Yeah. I doubt the gestational period of flies is that long, and depending on the time between insemination of fly A and fly B, there is a fair chance the semen may have still have been present in the female fly. If say a ferret had sex with ferret A last mating season (I'm assuming ferrets do the whole mating season thing) and then sex with ferret B last week and is impregnated with ferret B's offspring, what is the likelihood of ferret A's DNA playing a role in the offspring?
