CW: Image shows part of a dead mammal
Not gonna lie, the smell of this dead rat was pretty bad. But I'm pleased with a photo that shows two different species of blow fly (Chrysomia rufifacies & Lucilia cuprina), it's a good one for the forensic entomology lecture I give later this semester. #Insects #Entomology #Calliphoridae

Chrysomyia rufifacies is a much more beautiful insect than its common name would suggest.
(the common name is Hairy Maggot Blow Fly)

Behold, Rango Pango!
That's the Māori name for this elegant native New Zealand blowfly. The fly is mostly black with a big shiny blue abdomen.
This rango pango landed on a student during our weekend field trip up in the North Canterbury mountains. She (the student) was kind enough to stay still while I photographed it.
Unlike most blowflies, rango pango maggots can grow up on rotting plant material as well as animal carcasses. The adult flies are pollinators of many plants.
This is the third observation on iNat of this species from the North Canterbury Southern Alps.

In many flies, males and females can be sexed by looking at the size of the compound eyes, with those of the male being larger. These two blow flies show the difference.
See, this is why you follow me. Practical life skills, like sexing blow flies. #insects #calliphoridae #entomology #diptera #flies
