Pollenia Fly

Diet and Lifecycle

Larvae parasitize earthworms, feeding inside them until pupation in soil. Adults feed on nectar, plant juices, and other natural fluids. The lifecycle includes soil-based egg laying, larval parasitism of earthworms, pupation, and adult emergence. Adults overwinter inside human structures.
