More Information about: flesh flies
Term flesh flies
Explanation Vernacular name used for the family Sarcophagidae in general or the genus Sarcophaga in particular.
Jizz: Species of the subfamily Sarcophaginae are generally big (10-25 mm) powerful flies; thorax with three strong black stripes and a checker-board patterned abdomen. Often found near carrion. They enjoy sunbathing.
Jizz: Species of the subfamily Miltogramminae do not have dorsal stripes on thorax and no checker-board pattern on abdomen. They look like small Tachinidae and have similar behaviour. Miltogramminae are kleptoparasites of solitary bees and wasps and are usually found near their nests.
