Description
Greenbottle Fly (Lucilia caesar) feeding on the nectar of a daisy (Cosmos bipinnatus). In the process of this feeding, pollen is brushed onto the body of the fly. The fly then transports the pollen to other Cosmos flowers. Lucilia caesar normally feeds on rotting animal and vegetable matter. It is considered a domestic pest and may transmit diseases to humans.
