Q takes the term a fly on the wall too literally.
A fly was a type of animal lifeform, an insect. While commonly known fly species are native to the planet Earth, many other extraterrestrial varieties of flies have been known to exist.
Q once turned Jean-Luc Picard into a fly, in order to unobtrusively watch the events of an alternate timeline (in a literal example of the human phrase "a fly on the wall"). (TNG - Annual comic: "The Gift")
