It is characterized by its bright metallic blue abdomen and its short antennae. It is about .5 in/12 mm long and is slightly larger than the very common House Fly. Although Bluebottle are important pollinators especially of flowers with a strong odour, they also are attracted to garbage and decaying meat. Females lay their eggs in such spots and the larvae, often called maggots, feed on the decaying material. | « September 2014 | November 2014 » | Bug of the Month Archives | Dereila Nature Inn Home > Woodlands Pathway > The Bug World > Bug of the Month top
