Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Linnaeus, 1758)

As a member of the flesh flies, the species are known to consume flesh from living organisms.

Description

With the classification from the order Diptera, which is the order encompassing the 'true-flies', distinguishing features would be the presence of only a single pair of wings, very large compound eyes, and mouthparts specialized for sucking, piercing and/or sponging.

With a classification of the family Sarcophagidae, the mouthparts would be primarily used for sponging and sucking, as opposed to mosquitos with piercing proboscis' of the same order Diptera.

Habitat

Colonization

Sarcophaga translates to 'meat eater', in which S. argyrostoma would typically inhabit necrotic tissue. Larvae of the species are detritovores (dead tissue).

Development

Environmental effects

Fresh liver

In fresh liver at standard temperatures, S. argyrostoma are shown to have similar developmental processes to the common fly.

Impact (disease)

Myiasis

Myiasis is defined as the parasitic infection via fly larvae inside of a living organism.

Medication/treatment for disease impact

Immunomodulatory and antioxidants

The application for Sarcophaga may be also used for medical applications such as utilizing the species as a mediator for antioxidants and anti-inflammation for disease control.  

Forensic Entomology

The use of Sarcophaga in forensic entomology is namely due to the species of fly that tends to inhabit indoor environments of dead necrotic tissue.
