Oeceoptoma noveboracense larvae and a mystery larvae on cow skull - Oiceoptoma noveboracense

Oeceoptoma noveboracense larvae and a mystery larvae on cow skull - Oiceoptoma noveboracense
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
May 27, 2007
These two Oiceoptoma noveboracense larvae were feeding on a cow skull along with a different carrion beetle black larvae. This is 22 days after we saw adults feeding on the skull (see BG # 1476920). I did not see an adult carrion beetle that would account for the black larvae.
