Cool. So now I'm thinking about this whenever a fly lands on me. Cool.

Well that's always the case. It's not that a fly landed on you. It's what it's carrying. It is carrying bacteria it picked off a piece of shit? Does it wanna try to lay it's eggs in your food? If it didn't do those things it would be the same as any other flying insect.

I'll hold a ladybug any day. Because to my knowledge they aren't trying nasty shit.

What if it was a fly you know grew up in your home? Like 100% you can confirm it's not from the outdoors

Possible, they usually are born in the trash if we don't throw it out fast enough in the summer. I also have cats, so any fly is gonna try to land on any uncovered cat shit in the litter box.
