About it
Cluster flies are a little larger than house flies, with golden hairs on their backs. They get their name from the way hundreds of them gather in attics and window frames in autumn to wait out the winter. Their young live in the soil, feeding on earthworms.
Tap it and it grooms like a real fly: the front legs rub together, reach up and wipe its face while its head dips, and then it gives a little shake. Flies clean themselves often because their legs and eyes need to stay free of dust to taste and see.
