Fuzz-encrusted Blow Fly - Lucilia

Fuzz-encrusted Blow Fly - Lucilia
Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
August 27, 2008
Based on the green back, this must be a blow fly. My first thought was immobile honey bee.

The summer, through mid-August, was wet.

Probably Lucilia sericata as that seems to be the standard blow fly in the area.
