Phormia regina
black blow fly
Phormia regina belongs to the blow fly family Calliphoridae and was first described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen.The black blow flys wings are specialized with a sharp bend. These flies are also have well-developed calypters. Blow flies generally are about the size of a house fly or a little larger, and many are metallic blue or green in color. Key characteristics of this species include black gena, mostly white calypters, and anterior thoracic spiracles that appear to be orange yellow due to being surrounded by bright orange setae.
