Freidberg, A. 1981. Taxonomy, natural history and immature stages of the bone-skipper, Centrophlebomyia furcata (Fabricius) (Diptera: Piophilidae, Thyreophorina). - Ent. scand. 12: 320-326.

Amnon told me the story onceuponatime:

"I was playing with my little daughter on the playground near my house. The winter before was very dry, and bedouins came with their sheep, cattle and camels to Tel Avive, using lawns for pasturing.

I sat and read a book while my dauter was playing in the sand, and noted a goat skull at my feet, and a strange fly on it, which quickly disappeared in the orbit hole. I took the skull home and put in the net cage at garage. In a short time I have got numerous "bone-skipping" maggots, which I used later for description."
