My dog ate a fly. Is it safe for dogs to eat flies and small insects?

Question

Hi so I just wanted to know if I have to worry of my dog eats a regular fly or one of those small blackfly because I've been seeing a lot of then recently and one time when at the park there was a lot of them flying around him when he was laying down in the grass. Should I worry about any flies or any insect that's of that similar size ? Thank You. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 72 lbs

It won't hurt Rocky if he eats any flies, they aren't toxic to dogs :-) I would be worried about bees, however, as the will sting the inside of his mouth and cause toxic reactions. I hope this helps!
