The '''Fly''' (ハエ, ''Hae'') is an [[insect]] that can be found throughout the year, quickly flying round [[rafflesia]], spoiled [[turnip]]s 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. In {{NL|short}}, Flies are just as common as they were in previous Animal Crossing games whenever rafflesia, spoiled turnips or [[Fruit|rotten fruit]] are around. However, Flies rarely appear when [[Trash|rubbish]] is on the ground, unlike previous Animal 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 the ''[[Animal Crossing (series)|Animal 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 the [[player]]'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. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, a rafflesia can be found in the insect exhibit. Once donated, a Fly will buzz around it.

As with all insects in the {{SER}}, the Fly can be donated to the [[museum]] followed by a small talk by [[Blathers]], the curator.

Blathers, being as afraid as ever of bugs, will comment, as always, on the donation: ''"My largest complaint about these vile bugs are their filthy little feet, wot! Leaping about on my dinner! FOULNESS! UTTER FOULNESS! Blech! The mere thought... Couldn't they at least scrub those fly toes?"''

''"Hoo, you are aware that flies also serve as an important source of data for the academic world? Their simple structures make them rather ideal organisms to use in many experiments, wot? So remember, next time you see a fly, know that it's more than a bug that just flies around dumpsters!" ''

In the bug exhibit, the Fly is seen buzzing around the [[Rafflesia]] in the top-left section of the bug exhibit. There is also a description board next to where the Fly is buzzing around.

 

''"Flies are often seen rubbing their forelegs to clean them, which seems odd, because, well, they're flies. However, they need to keep their legs clean as they contain taste and tactile receptors. By doing so, they can better savor the flavor of whatever they find to eat next. The legs also contain a sticky liquid so flies can more easily land on smooth surfaces."''

''"The foul '''fly''' is quite the disquieting 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 surface? Even your ceiling! <small>This gross goo gets on your food too!</small>"''

 

The Fly can be found in the back office in the laboratory section of the bug exhibit. It is in a cylindrical case on the left-hand side of the room.
