Hello Fkbreitl, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, --Alf melmac 12:56, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

fly video

edit

Hi. The image you posted is of a fly in the family Sarcophagidae, possibly the genus Sarcophaga though there are a few other possibilities. It is not a house fly (family Muscidae), nor a bottle fly (family Calliphoridae). Female sarcophagids routinely larviposit instead of laying eggs, it is neither an accident nor is it something they can switch "on" and "off" at will. A given species will either produce eggs, or it will produce larvae; it will not switch from one to the other. Females will also "jettison" larvae in their reproductive tract if they are dying or under extreme stress, and this is almost certainly what is happening with the fly in your video.

Thanks for your explanation. This is very interesting and should be included in the article. Could you do this? I was puzzled when I observed such a fly and could find an explanation in Wikipedia. So I added it myself but apparently to the wrong species. --Fkbreitl (talk) 22:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Unedited machine translation is not allowed

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from one or more pages to teapot effect. While translation is welcome, this translation appears to be poor quality or machine translation. Wikipedia consensus is that an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. Please only translate pages when you understand both languages; for more guidance, see Help:Translation. Thank you. (t · c) buidhe 04:29, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
