Musca domestica Linnaeus
Adult Males and Females Males and females are hard to distinguish. Females are usually larger and can extend the tip of the abdomen to form an ovipositor which is used to lay eggs. Sometimes males have enlarged eyes which meet on top of the head.
Flies live in garbage and wherever animal feces are available. Dead animals attract flies within hours after death. Most flies are diurnal.
This picture it like animation but I take it.This is truth and real
Here's a pic of a North American species for comparison: http://www.arizonensis.org/sonoran/field...
This fly is not a Musca domestica, that fly belongs to the Family Muscidae. This is a long-legged fly from Family Dolichopodidae.
