Blowfly/ Phaenicia Sericata - Lucilia sericata

Blowfly/ Phaenicia Sericata - Lucilia sericata
Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada
April 7, 2005
First Blowfly of spring ready for action. I captured him sitting on a window sill at the shack, warming up in the sun. This is why it was easy to photograph.
I hope the identification is correct.
