Flesh Eater Fly
Other resolutions available: Thumb Wallpaper 1280×960
This fly is a bit larger than a housefly. It is a member of family sarcophagidae, which is greek for “flesh eater”. The adult flies actually only eat sugary liquids like nectar, sap and spilled soda pop. The genus is so named because sarcophagidae maggots are meat eaters.
Sarcophagidae share superfamily Oestroidea with blowflies, a more famous fly with flesh-eating larvae. Sarcophagidae have dull coloration while blowflies have a beautiful metallic sheen.
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.
