I've heard of finding a fly in your soup, but what a surprise to find a perfectly preserved/flattened-fly inside the tag for my new suitcase! After buying a new set of luggage, I returned home and unfolded the tri-fold tag to check out some of its features--and what did I find? Insect guts smeared all the way across the page. What blew my mind was how perfectly preserved the fly was. Every piece was accounted for, and none of the pieces were peeling off. I could see each segment of its body, the lacy network of veins on both wings, and even the individual hairs covering its thorax. Upon careful examination, I discovered that the fly was actually
inside the plastic laminate layer! It must have flown into the suitcase factory and landed on the tag as it was being laminated. I guess the conveyor belt was moving so quickly that it was squashed (very precisely) before it could even attempt an escape. Bizarre?
