"Parasitic Flies are parasites to other insects. Female flies lay fertilized eggs on the backs of other insects, or on leaves near where insects travel where they may be picked up or ingested. Once on a host, a hatched larvae digs into the insect and feeds on its insides. It is a gruesome way to grow, but the result of this lifestyle reduces the population size of some insects that are considered pests. Many garden-destroying caterpillars are victims to Parasitic Flies, and their early demise can mean a good harvest. The hosts of this particular species are types of beetles."
