Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The term 'medicinal maggot' might seem like an oxymoron, but doctors around the world have been putting fly larvae to good use for thousands of years! Maggots, especially those from the carrion fly Lucilia sericata, consume dead flesh and can be used to clean ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, or necrotic tissue with more precision than a surgical operation, and the enzymes they excrete can destroy a variety of pathogenic bacteria.

Lucilia sericata

Common green bottle fly

Mosca verde botella común

21 of August 2022 — Maryland, USA

A single female of this species can produce 2000+ eggs in her lifetime. Isn’t that wild? Their larvae feed on carrion, but adults are more opportunistic and feed on nectar, also carrion, feces, or whatever else they might find (such as your food). They’re so cute though and I love them, their faces are so funny. Their iridescent coloring is also breathtaking, I can never tire of it.

#2115 - Chrysomya varipes - Small Hairy Maggot Blowfly

AKA Chrysomya annulipes and Lucilia varipes.

A small blowfly found over much of the Australia mainland, especially around carcasses in summer.

Chrysomya is common genus in the Old World tropics and subtropics, largely outnumbering the Calliphora and Lucilia of more temperate zones. Some species are now also found in the New World, not least because their maggots will devour the maggots of other blowflies and rapidly replace them. One particularly notorious species is the Old World screwworm fly, Chrysomya bezziana, which like several other species will deposit their young on neglected wounds and lead to fatal myiasis. Often Chrysomya is just one of the genera infesting the wound.

The larvae of Chrysomya albiceps, the related Chrysomya rufifacies, and to a lesser extent C. varipes, have fleshy projections that earned them the common name of 'hairy maggot'.

Cooma, NSW.

Importance of Calliphoridae Diptera In Forensic Science

Diptera have colonised all kinds of habitats, both natural and anthropised. Many species are synanthropic, i.e., they live in close contact with humans and, among them, some can be used as indicators in criminal and civil proceedings. Forensic.....
