[QUOTE="AmandaLynn, post: 109616, member: 2785"] After learning a few new facts about flies today, I do think the little maggots were the flies own larva. There was a dead mouse in my yard today, and I watched a fly deposit several eggs on it, but they weren't actually eggs. When I looked a little closer, I could see that the "eggs" were burrowing down into the mouses fur. She was depositing live larva. So my final conclusion is that, the fly my mantis ate with the abdomen filled with maggots was not a housefly hosting a bunch of parasites, but a flesh fly, such as, [I]Sarcophaga vomitoria[/I](nice name :blink: ), or [I]Sarcophaga carnaria[/I], and was merely pregnant. :) [/QUOTE]
