From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A female Oriental Latrine Fly, Chrysomya megacephala feeding on animal feces, a behaviour referred to as Coprophagia. The Latrine Fly is among the most dangerous dipteran vectors of enteric pathogens. It is also a good pollinator of mangoes.
Reason
Good quality. The fly is one of the most dangerous vectors of parasites and before this picture, wikipedia had none. So good EV as well.
