Order: Diptera (True Flies).
Size: 6-10mm.
Range: Throughout Canada and the United States.
Description: These insects are active on bright sunny days near human habitations; they are often seen around dog feces. Adults sip both plant and animal fluids. Females sometimes lay eggs on open wounds; they are among the first insects to arrive at a carcass. Larvae develop in rotting meat and pupate in the soil. This species has been used in "maggot therapy."
