Flesh-fly - Sarcophaga Carnaria

With a name that could be straight from the Hammer House of  Horrors or the Daily Sport. The Flesh-fly has red eyes and large feet, and what almost like armour plating on its back. They are very rarely found inside houses, but are common outside, especially near horses. They breed on carrion. There are several species of flesh-fly, but they mostly look very similar.
