Blow Fly Infected with a Fungus

Tuscarora

This apparently is a blow fly that has been infected with a fungus. The fungus is growing from the inside out and can be seen pushing through the segments on its abdomen. Thanks to Tom and Christine for their help with this one!

Nice image. Is the fungus the orange stripes, or the white spots.

Fabulous macro work Ann!!! Unfortunately, I don't know what kind of fly it is.

That is one I certainly have never seen before.
