How do flies land on surfaces that are directly above them- like ceilings?
She
they fly forwards and diagonally upwards and when they are close enough they stretch their front legs forwards so that the tiny hooks on their feet latch on. Their momentum then swings the rest of their body upwards until they are stood upside down on the ceiling facing the opposite direction to the way they were flying.
