Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Greenbottle fly eating

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - An Old World screw-worm fly Chrysomya albiceps, feeding on decaying matter. The Chrysomya, like other blow-flies are an important tool in Forensic science and Forensic entomology due to their ability to smell dead animal matter over a long distance.
Reason
A good quality image illustrating both the fly and and feeding. IMO aesthetically pleasing as well, for those who like bugs :)
