Thefly[nb 1] is aninsect that can be found throughout the year, quickly flying roundrafflesia, spoiledturnips, or discarded rubbish such as tires, cans, and old boots that are caught when fishing. There may be a number of flies around the object, which can be caught individually. Flies can be hard to catch, as although they make a loud, high-pitched buzzing noise, they are very small and so are hard to spot. InNew Leaf, flies are just as common as they were in previousAnimal Crossing games whenever rafflesia, spoiled turnips orrotten fruit are around. However, flies rarely appear whenrubbish is on the ground, unlike previousAnimal Crossing games where they are just as common when trash is around. Flies sell for 60 Bells, making them one of the least expensive insects in theAnimal Crossing series. The fly depicted in-game appears to be modeled on the housefly.
When caught, a red ring and pointing hand are used to show where the fly is in theplayer's hand, a demonstration of its small size.
Flies tend to swarm around the rafflesia, a flower, due to its foul smell. This stench is, in fact, used to attract such insects as flies in order to pollinate. InCity Folk, a rafflesia can be found in the insect exhibit. Once donated, a fly will buzz around it.

Real-world information[edit]
Houseflies,Musca domestica, are a common species of fly that can be found throughout the world. They have red compound eyes and are colored gray. The housefly is thought to have evolved in the Middle East 65 million years ago, and has spread with the dispersal of man throughout the world. Flies can carry up to around 100 diseases, and they are also known to inhabit less hygienic areas. Flies live for around 15 to 25 days, and can have up to 500 offspring. They are around 6 to 9mm long. Houseflies can only survive in higher temperatures- In the winter months, they only exist at larvae or eggs. These larvae can be hatched from eggs in only a day. Flies only live in colder climates where humans are present.
