Three species frequent my pans: Lucilia Caesar, LIN., L. cadaverina, LIN., and L. cuprea, ROB. The first two, both of whom are gold-green, are plentiful; the third, who sports a coppery luster, is rare. All three have red eyes, set in a silver border. Lucilia Caesar is larger than L. cadaverina and also more forward in her business. I catch her in labor on the 23rd of April.
