A fly that doesn't fly is bloody creepy...

[norman156]

This might seem a bit of a random post, but there seems to be a fly in my lounge in a rather sorry state... doesn't seem to be flying anywhere, just crawling around, I assume it's dying or something. A fly wouldn't normally bother me but suddenly seeing it slowly creep accross my keyboard scared the crap out of me... It's currently sitting on the arm of the sofa and only slowly crawls away if I prod it. Perhaps it's watching the crap late night poker I've got on the TV...

It's not a fly, it's a walk!


ETA It's not a Brundle Fly by any chance is it?

Not any more though, little toss bag flew off rather slowly and dissapeared over by the fireplace. I'm assuming it's because it's dying or something, given that flies only live a day and all

No, it does have the face of Jeff Goldblum though

It's either dying, or it's only just hatched out of its pupa and hasn't yet dried its wings. If you've another dozen of them buzzing round tonight, it's probably the latter (dead bird in the chimney?).
