Can you correct it's common name. There is a missing "L" It should be "Blow fly"

So cool! when you say them in such detail, it's hard to believe they're creatures that live with us everyday: so bizarre!

That's a great photo. I like the eye colour too. Cheers!

Hi Opzjon, I think this is a Blow fly (Calliphoridae) not a house fly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chrysomya_megacephala_male.jpg
