What the heck killed my fly? Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA January 27, 2009
Two questions: (1). Does this fly look to have been killed by Entomophthora? (2) What species of blow fly (Calliphoridae) is this? I collected this blow fly near pig carrion on Jan. 27, 2009 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The site location was a cow pasture and the weather was cool, not cold. The fly was already dead when I found it, and this particular fly had not been there the previous day.
