I love the one star review.

The seller said they'd send a fly, and they sent a fly.  You have no grounds for complaints.

As an aside, my cat did eat flies very frequently.  Whenever we had one, we'd just lock her and it in the room and give it 10 minutes.  Possibly the most useful thing a cat has ever done.

My favorite review:

QuoteHoly crap! This is an actual, honest to God, housefly! I paid $2 for a bug that I would kill if it were flying around my house! I almost died laughing when I opened the package. I have to be honest and say that I thought it was possible that this thing would be a real fly based on the description (which does not come out and say that this is a real fly). But I thought surely to goodness someone would not sell a real fly. I was hoping it was some type of electronic toy. Needless to say, my $2 fly was DOA. However, they sent me a seedling one that should "pop" soon. Yeah, um, I threw all of it in the garbage. Seriously? While this was funny, I can't say I would recommend this product. BE AWARE: IT'S A REAL FLY!

wait, 2$ for one fly?

I'm sure there's better prices.

Thanks, now I don't need to buy food or toys for my cat. Just fill a room full of flies and come back later.
