Sarcophagidae
Most flesh flies breed in carrion, dung, or decaying material, but a few species lay their eggs in the open wounds of mammals; hence their common name. Some flesh fly larvae are internal parasites of other insects. Flesh-fly maggots occasionally eat other larvae although this is usually because the other larvae are smaller and get in the way.
Seen near flowering gardens.
