Would you hang a fly on the wall?

Flies are one of the most annoying insects in the world. They enter your home, despite the safety nets, crawl on you and irritate you with their unpleasant buzzing. They land on all kinds of rotting matter, food debris, feces, and then on your dishes and furniture, on your food and clothes.
Brrr, nasty, disgusting!

Houseflies are carriers of many pathogenic bacteria. Gangrene, tuberculosis, dysentery, anthrax, plague and various types of poisoning are just some of the diseases transmitted by flies.

Anyway:
Many species of flies pollinate plants.
Flies recycle food waste. Without them, the world would be a much dirtier place to live. They help to decompose carcasses, which in turn leads to soil enrichment.
Other species will disappear without flies: frogs, lizards, spiders, bats, dragonflies, fish and birds.
They are indicators of water quality.
For gardeners, flies even have a positive role because their larvae feed on aphids, which are quite large pests.
The larvae of some species of flies eat dead organic matter and thus help to heal the wounds of humans and animals.

Well, I wonder would you hang a picture of a fly on the wall?
I am curious to know your opinion.
