One key adaptation is its ability to locate decaying matter using its highly sensitive olfactory receptors. Additionally, the bluebottle blowfly has specialized mouthparts that allow it to feed on liquid food sources such as nectar or animal fluids. Lastly, their rapid reproductive rate and ability to lay eggs on decaying matter ensure the continuation of their species in nutrient-rich environments.

Answer 4

The "BlueBottle" Bloatfly has specific behavioral adaptations in regards to it reproductive cycle. An adult fly will intercept a Mosquito in mid-flght, attaching its eggs with a heat solving type of a wax to the mosquito's thorax. This is done due to animals swatting off the flys if they directly land on them, due to the fly's increased size. When the mosquito attempts to feed on a mammal, the body heat emissions from the mammal melt the wax adhering the eggs. The eggs fall onto the now 'host.' In a short amount of time, the larvae will hatch from the eggs, and begin to bury themselves directly into the flesh of the living host. This is where they mature into adult bloatflies.
