What does a fly walk on the ceiling?

Each of the fly's feet has two sharp claws. These hold on to the microscoping indentations that are present on 99% of the surfaces, no matter how smooth. But to walk on the ceiling the fly uses glue. Between the two claws the fly has slightly sticky pads that are covered with hairs. When the fly pushes the pads against the surface, they get a non-slip grip.
