I actually read about this yesterday. the fly has 2 main hooks on the tip of thier feet. behind and bellow lika third finger is a kind of L shaped toe pointing towards the 2 hooks, this toe is sticky, and the stickyness comes from the flyiespoo, beleive it or not yes flyies to crap from their feeth!. the fly can push this toe to is becomes more straight. well, when the fly land on the ceiling, it first touches down with its "middle toe" then straight away hooks with the 2 others, using the ability to straighten its middle toe, the fly can increase it grip tot he ceiling if it blows or its toes arnt sticky enough.This makes the fly able to sit ipside down with ease.

About the landing, a fly does not make a spin orwtir before landing on the roof. It makes ahalf loop. Think of a fly commin in from the righthand side and flying straight, it will then fly a loop in a shape of the letter "C" and land on the ceileing when it meets.

Flies easily see the other way up, so it is possibly lots greater common to land the other way up than it is acceptable area up. they do exactly somewhat L curve touchdown maximum possibly. image if a airplane have been the other way up and had to land.. it is style of like that.

a fly has 8 eyes and no concept of up or down.

It kind of "pops a wheelie" and grabs on. For flies, the air feels much thicker, so they can do those amazing feats as if they were swimming.
