Bush Fly by

Bush Flies – Family Muscidae

Bush Flies develop as maggots in animal dung. Adults have two stripes on their back. The Common House Fly Musca domestica is also in this family. Unfortunately I only found this guy on my bathroom wall so I didn’t have a very interesting background. He also flew away before I could get any more shots!
