Fly Doesn't disappear, Player is not defined

Every time I test the game the fly doesn't disappear and at the bottom of the screen I get an error message that says "UnityException: Tag: player is not defined.". I've checked the video several times and I can't find anything wrong with the code. What did I do wrong?

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class FlyPickup : MonoBehaviour {

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {

    //If collider other is tagged tagged with "player"
    if (other.CompareTag ("player")) {

        Destroy (gameObject);

    }
}

}

Hi there! Remember that most programming languages are case-sensitive. You should be looking for the tag "Player", but you've typed "player". Try capitalizing that correctly and see if it makes a difference!

Good luck! :sparkles:
