This might have been made as a gag/joke, because when it's on your clothing, you really believe that a fly has landed on you. Hyper-realistic body details, celluloid textured wings, and legs that are designed to move: weirdly real-looking. Incredible that the celluloid has survived this long. Actual size of a fly.
front legs are designed to move!
