Small Grey Flesh Fly II - ? Amobia sp.

Family Sarcophagidae

This page contains pictures and information about Small Grey Flesh Flies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 5mm 

 

 

On Dec 2012 in Anstead Forest, we saw this flesh fly following a Potter Wasp. When the wasp flied, it flied. When the wasp rested on ground, the fly rested on ground. The fly was always watching the wasp at about half a meter away. 

 

 

From reference information, this flesh fly lays egg in the nest of these wasps. The larvae eat the food intended for the wasp larvae .
