blow fly
A blow fly is a type of large, metallic blue, green, or black fly, known for its loud buzzing flight and its larvae's habit of feeding on dead animal flesh or open wounds. Belonging to the family Calliphoridae, they are often found worldwide and are essential in forensic studies as they contribute to decomposition and are known to be the first to colonize a dead body. Blow flies are also used in medical treatments to clean out necrotic wounds.
