The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a common and widespread fly. Its larvae are used by humans for many purposes, including composting, manure management, forensic entomology, and live pet food. Adult flies have no functioning mouthparts and instead spend all their time in search of mates and reproducing.Photo: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
