k Flys foot. Coloured scanning electron micrograph SEM of pulvilli tubular hairs on the base of the foot of a fly order Diptera. Each pulvillus secretes a solution that forms a bond with the surface on which the fly is standing. This allows the fly to walk on vertical surfaces, or even upside down.
