The blue-tailed fly, also known as the bluebottle fly (Calliphora vomitoria), is a common species of blow fly recognized by its iridescent blue or green body and distinctive blue tail. These flies are often associated with decaying organic matter, where they lay their eggs, as their larvae feed on decomposing material. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding in decomposition but can also be pests and potential carriers of disease. Their life cycle includes stages as eggs, larvae (maggots), pupae, and adult flies.
