If from the bottom, an opening must have been created long enough for the fly to fly undetected into the colon

This is obviously the only way. There's no way the fly would survive not being digested even after emptying his bowels.

Isn't that kinda what flies do, to digest their food? Sure you're not a fly yourself?
