Flesh Fly
I found a Flesh Fly in the railings of our roof deck 11 days ago and this fly was a little bit bigger than the Housefly. The Tagalog word of the Flesh Fly is 'Bangaw' it sounds like 'Langaw' means Fly. Unlike the Housefly, I never saw the Flesh Fly attached to decaying waste most attracted to decaying waste are the Houseflies.
