#green bottle fly

Drawings I made for presentation about Green Bottle Flies. Green Bottle Fly maggots are used for medical maggot therapy and forensic entomology! Wow! That's some important uses for a gross little baby!

*In the last image I made a mistake, I mistook the larger end of the maggot for it's head. That is actually the ASS. The head of the maggot is on the skinnier end.

Since this information is about flies, it may be a little disgusting to some people, though I made sure not to go into gross detail. As such, the more unappealing part has been placed under the cut.

Today's bug photo is this Green Bottle Fly. I was waiting in a park while my sister did a job interview, and I had my camera with me in case I found anything cool. Despite them being quite annoying, I like these flies because of how shiny they are.

Green Bottle Flies, also known as Blow Flies, are typically seen as pests; they're to cause harm to any wounded livestock and can spread diseases. However, they also do some good things, such as decompose organic matter like dead plants and animals, help to pollinate, and can even be used for medical purposes, such as cleaning infected wounds, and in forensics to help determine when a person died. Like a lot of disliked animals, they play an important part in the ecosystem.

The birds may not know what to do with a Clementine, but Green Bottle Flies (Lucilia sericata) know.

This is Kill-happy. Idk what his real name is He's a curse use specialist that use to be a Curse Watch patient that a cure couldn't be discovered for. Now they bring him in for particularly nasty cases since he can just electricute everything. Kill Happy is basically a living generator so he comes in handy quite often. However he can also suck energy out of things at a rapid pace, and release that energy making him a bit of a wild card since he's not very predictable. The primary drawback is he functions like a robot, he cant hold down food or sleep unless he's completely devoid of all electrical energy and his hair and wings are almost permanently sparking with loose energy.
