📋 About This Mod
Brighter Bloatflies
===================
Updated to include an alternative Blue\Green look
Description:
This mod retextures the bloatflies. Now they appear more vibrant, with a distinct orange body and face pattern, along with iridescent wings and some darker toning along the rest of the body. Now they symbolise more of a 'warning' look to passers by.
