Where (geographically) are Flesh flies found? robo 16:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Often hard to tell as everyone's handbooks cover their own region. They certainly are very common in Europe, but I'd be surprised if they would not occur on every continent.Jens Nielsen 22:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

This subject (Flesh-fly) should redirect to Sarcophagidae. The common name should always be subordinate to the taxonomic family. Also, flesh fly is not hyphenated. Can someone see to that? (Anonymous)

Actually, according to my Collins Field guide to insects of Britain and Northern Europe, the genus Sarcophaga is the flesh-fly genus, whereas another genus in same family is called satellite flies. Also Flesh-fly is ok with a hyphen. Often entomologists uses hyphen when the species is a true flie (order diptera), and unhyphenated as e.g. Saw fly which is not a true fly. I'll modify it later this month unless you are quicker.Jens Nielsen 22:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
