''Chrysomya megacephala'', more commonly known as the oriental latrine fly, is a member of the family Calliphoridae (blowflies). It is a warm-weather fly with a greenish-blue metallic box-like body. The fly infests corpses soon after death, making it important to forensic science. This fly is implicated in some public health issues; it can cause accidental myiasis,〔Brundage, Adrienne. "Entomology". Forensic Entomology Class Lecture. Texas A&M University, College Station. 2 Mar. 2009.〕 and also infects fish and livestock. ==Description== ''C. megacephalas eggs are "oval with one flat face and another convex". Adult flies reflect a metallic blue-green color on their thorax and abdomen and have yellow gena, or cheeks.〔Jonathan A. Cammack. "A Survey of the Necrophilous Diptera on the Island of Dominica" Pg. 6 Department of Entomology at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. http://dominica.tamu.edu/student%20projects/Dominica%20Projects%20pdf%20copy/Cammack_Jonathan.pdf〕 Larvae vary in size according to instar and are shaped more thickly towards the rear.〔Jason H. Bryd, James L. Castner. "Forensic Entomology; The Utility of Arthropods in Legal Investigations" Pg. 33〕 ''C. megacephala'' have large red eyes, those of males being close together, and those of females farther apart.〔Byrd, Jason H., and James L. Castner. Forensic Entomology. Florida: CRC Press, 2001.〕 The ''cercus'' of the male is longer than that of the female.
