Another micrograph from my archives. This shows part of the head and the proboscis of a Blowfly or Bluebottle genus Calliphora with the unattractive specific name vomitoria.
Comments to Bill Ells welcomed.
Editor's note: other related resources of interest.
An article on the blowfly by Wim van Egmond is in the Micscape Library.
Published in the July 1999 edition of Micscape Magazine.
