History.—Found widely distributed. Description.—The fly is about four times the size of a house-fly. Its eyes are brownish in color ; thorax and abdomen bluish green. Life Cycle.—The eggs are oval in shape and white in color. They are deposited on decomposing ani- mal and vegetable matter, in the wounds of animals and in fresh manure and garbage. When the weather is hot the eggs hatch in a very few hours. The larvae are called maggots, and develop rapidly. On reaching maturity the maggots, if in a wound, drop to the ground and pass through the pupal stage in a short time. LuciLiA Macellaria.
