Buying Needing a fly

[Timexturner]

I'm needing a fly and I don't want to change my ordinance in order to get one. Can I come to someone else's town and get one?

Unfortunately, flies don't spawn over wifi. So you can't go to someone's town and catch one. Sorry

Darn. Nevermind then.

Then what's the best way to get a fly? Because I dunno if it requires me to change my ordinance or not.

I think the only way is to cancel the beautiful town ordinance for a day, leave a rotten turnip or a piece of candy on the ground, and wait for ants and flies to swarm it. Then, you can turn on the ordinance again for 20,000 bells. Only four flowers wilt per day, and you can revive them that day by watering them. I think that's the only way to do it.

If you time travel, it could go much quicker, but it carries a lot of risks if not done properly.

If that's true, than I apologize for deceiving the OP. It's been months since I caught those bugs.
