1. sarcophaga

   Sarcophaga, commonly known as flesh flies, are a family of flies known scientifically as Sarcophagidae, most species of which are often associated with carrion or decaying material. The name 'Sarcophaga' is derived from the Greek words 'sarco-' meaning flesh and '-phaga' meaning eating, hinting at their eating habits. They have a significant role in decomposing dead matters in ecosystems. Some species are also parasites and can transmit diseases, having importance from a medical perspective.
