UK Greenbottle Team's Journal

An excellent resource well worth sharing from the Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification:

Blow flies of North America Keys to the subfamilies and genera of Calliphoridae, and to the species of the subfamilies Calliphorinae, Luciliinae and Chrysomyinae

A link to some content on : matthewvosper's journal

Currently there are coordinated efforts to search for Lucilia observations in Africa and Asia.

So far, only two confirmed blowflyesque species are known in Antarctica: One fossil and lab-reared [Lucilia sericata](https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-020-04543-y) for microbiology research. Likely invasive candidate L. sericata remains plausible but not confirmed.

Short and sweet: This is at heart a networking project to coordinate greenbottle volunteers, so we too can learn things.

All admins are to be considered trustworthy and are encouraged to dig in, and experiment. No way to break this that can't be fixed fast so test first if you want, and we can ask questions afterwards.

Just one more mandatory rule: Have fun!

Look up how cheap an '03 X-type is then, consider a nice one was reversed quite hard into a bollard. Tht's what this project is: A rather smashed salvage that's mechnically ok.

Anybody interested in helping to do project admin work?

Lot of familiar names and great ideas here:
