One perk of needing to be familiar with blow fly developmental timelines in forensic entomology is that you know when to have the camera ready to capture Phormia regina eggs hatching.

Members of the family Piophilidae are called the Skipper Flies because the larvae will build tension by gripping their hind end with their mouth and then release it and fly through the air.
