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!

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