| | | | Common green bottle flies | | The common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) belongs to the family of Blow-flies (Calliphoridae) and is widespread in Europe and Asia. The body length ranges from 7 to 11 mm and has a metallic sheen in green and gold colours. | | |
| | | The common green bottle fly uses its proboscis to suck up liquids from carrion and nectar from flowers. The female common green bottle flies lay their eggs on carrion, which the larvae then feed on when they hatch.
The Common green bottle fly larvae are considered useful as they are used as fishing bait, animal feed and today (once again) in the treatment of wounds.
