A fly laying eggs - my entomology disertation project.
This fly is Lucilia caesar or commonly just a green bottle. Any good entomology book will give you information on the life cycle of this dirty little lady...
These flies are about 1/2" in length with shiny metallic blue-green abdomen and thorax.

  • Why is it laying eggs on a surface that can't support the maggots? Idiot fly?

  • @SENSIBLECHEMIST It was removed from carion whilst it was it in mid flow. Something was triggered and it just couldn't stop I guess.
