 Decomposition: Flies
The larvae of Chrysomya are covered with protrusions called papillae, which serve as protection against the predatory attacks of other maggots.
When the corpse has dried out, two other groups of flies, the cheese flies Family Piophilidae and the coffin flies Family Phoridae join the beetles and mites in cleaning up the skeleton

  A field guide to the types of insects and mites infesting cured fish - 5. Diptera
Other families represented in records of flies infesting cured fish are: Muscidae (Antherigona, Musca and Ophyra); Piophilidae (Piophila); Milichidae (Leptometopa); Phoridae (Megaselia); and Ephydridae (Discomyza).
All these flies are rather similar in general form, though they show a variety of size and coloration, and their identification requires specialist knowledge.
The larvae (usually known as maggots) feed on the surface of the flesh and may also burrow deeply into it.

 2004 Forensic Pathology Specialty Conference Handout - Case 2
These first groups of insects are the Calliphoridae or blow flies and the Sarcophagidae (the flesh flies).
Other species are not interested in the corpse when the body is fresh, but are only attracted to the corpse later such as the Piophilidae or cheese skippers which arrive later, during protein fermentation.
Some insects are not attracted by the body directly, but arrive to feed on the other insects at the scene.

Several species were also observed and collected on human corpses at the Institute of Legal Medicine.
The species belonged to 17 different families, 6 being of forensic importance because they were reared from human corpses or pig carcasses: Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae, Piophilidae (Diptera), Dermestidae, Silphidae and Cleridae (Coleoptera).
The most important species were: Diptera _ Chrysomya albiceps, Chrysomya putoria, Hemilucilia segmentaria, Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Calliphoridae), Pattonella intermutans (Sarcophagidae), Ophyra chalcogaster (Muscidae), Piophila casei (Piophilidae); Coleoptera _ Dermestes maculatus (Dermestidae), Oxyletrum disciolle (Silphidae) and Necrobia rufipes (Cleridae).
