Flesh Fly

Flesh flies are known for the fact that they lay eggs into corpses or exposed meat, which then turn into maggots. Their thorax is grey with black stripes, while the abdomen has a subtle difference in pattern. The name of the genus, "Sarcophaga" is actually a greek word, and comes from the word σάρκα, which means flesh and the word φάγος, which means eater, in simple terms.
