Insect-O- Fact #6
'Blowflies': Also referred to as the 'bluebottle fly', it contains among others, the 'greenbottle fly'. Admiral Cree, while I commonly refer to him as a 'blowfly', would more accurately be described as a Greenbottle Fly. As explained in his bio, Admiral Cree is a coward, and so I spent much time looking for a particularly dirty, cowardly, and desperate creature to represent him. The blowfly has to be one of the grossest insects I have EVER read about (and THAT's saying something!). Their eggs are laid into the carcasses of dead animals, or the eyelids of live frogs! That way the emerging larvae have plenty to eat...EEEEEEEEWWWWWW W.I guess if you're too weak or cowardly to go hunting for food this is a fair alternative...ya, that sounds Cree enough for me!
