What is wrong with this code ?

I can't figure what is wrong with this code.... The quizz told me to add another EatFly class with 2 integer parameters and to return true if the frog length is longer then the fly distance and if the reaction time of the frog is faster then the fly reaction time. When i try to verify if i did it right it says : " Bummer! Did you create a new Eatfly method with the distanceToFly and flyReactionTime parameters"

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        public readonly int TongueLength;
        public readonly int ReactionTime;

        public Frog(int tongueLength , int reactionTime)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime= reactionTime;
        }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)
       {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly;
       }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly , int flyReactionTime)
        {

             return  Eatfly(distanceToFly) && (ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime);



        }



    }
}

You didn't capitalize the methodcall to EatFly:

return  Eatfly(distanceToFly) && (ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime);

Should be

return  EatFly(distanceToFly) && (ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime);

Thank you for the answer , but i still have the same problem.....it keeps telling me " Bummer! Did you create a new Eatfly method with the distanceToFly and flyReactionTime parameters"

        public Frog(int tongueLength , int reactionTime)
        {
            TongueLength = tongueLength;
            ReactionTime= reactionTime;
        }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly)

       }

        public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly, int flyReactionTime)
        {

             return  EatFly(distanceToFly) && (ReactionTime <= flyReactionTime);



        }



    }
}

Try that then, I removed a space here between the parameters:

public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly, int flyReactionTime)

The second set of parenthesis aren't needed.

I ran into an issue with the conditions in the second method:

 public bool EatFly(int distanceToFly, int flyReactionTime)
        {
            return TongueLength >= distanceToFly && ReactionTime >= flyReactionTime;
        }

Strangely, the code was correct after changing the logic, requiring the frog's reaction time to be less than or equal to the fly's! 

ReactionTIme <= flyReactionTime;

This is correct. The question and the answer do not match.
