Insects
Green Bottle Fly
(Phaenicia sericata)
Green Bottle Flies lay their
eggs almost exclusively in dead or rotting flesh or meat. These flys can
pick up on organic odors of decomposition with in minutes of death. They
are one of the first insects to be attracted to fresh carcass.
This cat food was put outside at about
9:00am to feed some farm cats. Most of the food was eaten. However at about
1:00pm the left over bowls had a mess of Green Bottle Flies all over them.
Upon inspecting the bowls fly eggs were found in the bowls.
Fly eggs laid on some left over can cat food that was left
outside for only 4 hours.
Up close the eggs look like chicken rice, to the naked eye
it looks almost like part of the cat food.
Have you ever been at a picnic where
the food was left out for half of the day? Were there any Flies in the
area?? Hhhmmmm, better think twice about eating uncovered food.
