The Oriental Latrine Fly

"Chrysomya megacephala" is a member of the family Calliphoridae. It is a warm-weather fly with a greenish-blue metallic box-like body. The fly infests corpses soon after death, making it important to forensic science. This fly is implicated in some public health issues; it can cause accidental myiasis, and also infects fish and livestock.
