		The remaining 2 types are the Calliphoridae [Chrysomya megacephala (Fab.), and Phaenicia cuprina (Wiedemann)), and the Sarcophagidae [ Parasarcophaga misera (Walker), and Phytosarcophaga gressitti Hall and Bohart).
		The Calliphoridae are copper to bluish-green, sometimes blue, on the thorax making them easily distinguishable from the large striped gray Sarcophagidae.
		Both of these flies differ from the common house fly and the bush fly in being more sluggish and noisy and by their general avoidance of humans.

		Author(s): Bourel B, Fleurisse L, Hédouin V, Cailliez J-C, Creusy C, Gosset D, Goff ML Title: Immunohistochemical contribution to the study of morphine metabolism in calliphoridae larvae and implications in forensic entomotoxicology
		Abstract: Morphine was detected by immunohistochemistry on sections of third stage larvae of Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera, Calliphoridae) reared on minced beef meat previously treated with morphine hydrochloride.
		This study consequently points out the possibilities of analyzing empty pupariae when suitable tissues or living necrophagous insects are absent.

		Species of the family, Sarcophagidae, are also found in association with carrion and excrement, although some feed on decaying vegetation or are parasitic.

		The South African Museum has had regular queries over the past 3 years regarding an upsurge in the fly population in the Cape Peninsula and Cape Flats and most of the queries have originated from the Bellville and Durbanville Health Departments.
		Specimens of the fly in question were sent to a fly specialist in Pretoria and it has been repeatedly identified as the Sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
		Calliphorid and sarcophagid flies are attracted to exposed meat, carrion, human and animal excrement and any rotting organic material and filth in general and they also readily infest open wounds.
