Fly Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a fly! I was just wingin' it...

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The foul fly is quite the disgusting creature! I tell you, it tastes its food with its feet! Yeep!

 In fact, when flies rub their legs together, they do so to get rid of debris blocking their taste receptors.

 And did you know, their hairy toes release a sticky goo so they can walk on any surfaces? Even your ceiling!

 This gross goo gets on your food too!
