C# C# Objects Methods Method Overloading

where am I going wrong

EatFlay should be used inside the second EatFly method so that I can have the first comparison made and then check the second one for the reaction time. I know I am close. Thanks, Joe

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


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

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

It sounds like you have the right idea, now you just need to include a call to the original method in your new method's evaluation:

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