  1. Had to re-identify because the system incorrectly created a new species record. The species name is "Lucilia sericata", not "Lucilia scericata". Posted 2 years ago

The common green bottle fly is a blow-fly found in most areas of the world, and the most well-known of the numerous green bottle fly species. It is 10–14 mm long, slightly larger than a housefly, and has brilliant, metallic, blue-green or golden coloration with black markings.
