Do insects perceive time differently than humans? Is that why they have such quick reflexes? 

I heard once that time is much slower to them, which is why a fly avoids a flyswatter with such ease. Is that true?

Flies avoid being swatted at because the cilia on their body is disturbed by moving air. That cilia is connected to nerves that go to their very tiny brain, which pumps out an almost immediate reaction to follow a pre-set avoidance route. 

You can pretty easily trick a fly by one of three methods. The first and simplest is to use a fly swatter. Fly swatters have lots of holes in them so that they don't move very much air as they swing. This tricks the fly because it doesn't have an advanced warning.

The second method and slightly more devious, is to catch the fly. Say a fly is sitting on your desk. If you cup your hands about a foot away from the fly on each side, and then clap your hands together, you will usually miss the fly. However, if as your hands get closer to the fly, you also lift them up off the table about three or four inches, you can usually trap the fly. What you're doing is creating false information. The fly thinks your hands are moving towards it at a much lower area, so it flies upwards to avoid getting squished. Your hands end up going where the fly's predetermined it's route of escape will be.

The third method is to go very very slowly. You will disturb less air, and the fly won't respond to minor disturbances.
