"Calliphora vicina" is a member of the family Calliphoridae, which includes blow-flies and bottle flies. These flies are important in the field of forensic entomology. "C. vicina" is currently one of the most entomologically important fly species because of its consistent time of arrival and colonization of the body following death.
