Flies can walk upside down! They can do this because of their sticky feet.
A fly has foot pads that are covered in tacky glue.
To unstick their feet so they can walk anywhere, the fly uses tiny foot claws to push or twist themselves away.

Explanation:
Flies need sticky feet to walk on ceilings, but not so sticky that they get stuck upside down. So each foot comes with a pair of claws that help hoist the gooey foot off the wall. Flies use several different techniques to get unstuck: pushing, twisting, and peeling its footpads free.
