Who wants to see a corpse-eating flesh fly? Oh, let’s not always see the same hands.

This is a flesh fly, genus Sarcophaga, probably Sarcophaga bullata, the most common species of sarcophagid. The larger image is actually a 1920×1200 desktop image.

Hey, remember yesterday when I said there would be some InsectPOD fanservice coming up? Well, okay then! Who wants to see some sarcophagid booty!

Okay, seriously, you guys? The same hands thing is getting creepy. Especially you. And you.

Okay, it’s not just gratuitous, it’s also educational: an identifying trait of sarcophagids is that both their eyes and their, um, taillights, are red. The larger image is also a 1920×1200 desktop, because if I know you two, you’re gonna want them both. Seriously, guys. Kinda creepy.
