ALSO, almost EVERY little bug, and insect, have feet like a PLUNGER for your TOILET. It enables their feet to stick, when gravity pulls the other way!

Flies have little hooks on the end of their feet- kinda like "Natural velcro". The other thing is a Flys mass is so small and they're so streamlined they can withstand a huge force of wind
