Talk:Calliphora vomitoria

message: I have moved the page from Blue bottle fly to Blue Bottle Fly as it looked messy before and other creature have capital titles Gaogier How can I help? 10:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah yes, but now it stands out among the insects for having a capitalised name. Our guidelines are for arthropods not to be capitalised. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:06, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page Move 

message: 1. The blue bottle fly is also the common name given to Protophormia terraenovae, which may mean either that this article contains incorrect information or at least needs to be disambiguated.
2. There is already a more in-depth article on the species Calliphora vicina. Does that render this page redundant?
I'd be happy to fix this article if I knew anything about fly biology, but I don't. 70.129.149.116 (talk) 19:28, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For (2), it turns out someone changed the species name here from C. vomitoria to C. vicina, so that's probably why you thought we had two different articles on the same fly species. For (1) that's probably a good idea too. howcheng  {chat} 09:38, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two problems with this article 

message: In the introduction it is stated:
    Blue bottle fly adults feed on nectar
whereas the Life Style section has:
    A female blue bottle fly lays her eggs where she feeds, usually in decaying meat ...
which seems inconsistent?   quota (talk) 08:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feeding habits 

message: This article has been written as if the term blue bottle fly was synonymous with Calliphora vomitoria.  This is incorrect: C. vicina has just as much right to be called a blue bottle fly as is C. vomitoria, and there are probably several other species of Calliphoridae from around the world for which the same could be said.  Also, the term 'blue bottle fly' is relatively fuzzy (how greenish does the blue have to be before it becomes a green bottle fly?) while, in comparison, Calliphora vomitoria is relatively precisely defined.  Conflating the two terms on the same page is only likely to confuse readers.
It would be much better for Calliphora vomitoria to have its own page and for the Blue bottle fly page to clearly list some of the species (C. vomitoria, C. vicina, at least) that are regarded as blue bottle flies.

thread_title:  A Separate Page for ''Calliphora vomitoria'' 

message: 2 of the images at bottom of article appear to be Green bottle, ( Lucilia sericata going on Occiptal Setae), so should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.3.70.176 (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Is "blue bottle fly" a common name for this insect?  I've only ever heard it called a "blue bottle" (which would imply that per Wikipedia convention the article should be "Blue bottle (fly)") Iapetus (talk) 15:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: For my Behavioral Ecology class, we are reviewing Wikipedia articles on flies in the order Diptera, and I read this article for one of my pages. The entry goes through a brief description of the life cycle of the blue bottle fly and has several closeup images of the fly in the “Gallery” section. The blue bottle fly can sometimes cause human/animal myiasis, and the female fly lays her eggs in decaying substances (where she feeds). The article is concise and has nice visuals, but there are several components that could be added to improve the article’s completeness, such as sections on the fly's ecology/habitat, evolution, and biology.

thread_title:  Behavioral Ecology Comment 

message: I did not find too many problems with the article! Very clearly worded and understandable. The edits I made mainly consisted of cleaning up sentence structure and hyperlinking additional terms.
I believe the last sentence of your description (Similar species include the greenbottle fly, a close relative that can be distinguished by its bright green metallic coloring.) needs a citation. Additionally, your sentence in the “egg” subsection of the “life cycle” section needs a citation.

thread_title:  Good Article 

message: Insects with compound eyes have a clarity of vision which is directly related to the number of facets in the eye. Each facet does not create it’s entirely own image each facet is more like a pixel so the more facets of the eye the clear the image.
