1. Title: New World Screwworm Pupa: A Fascinating Metamorphosis in the World of Insects 2. Description: This image showcases the New World screwworm pupa (Wohlfahrtia sp.), a remarkable stage in the life cycle of this notorious fly species. Photographed by the skilled lens of Martin Hall, this image offers a unique glimpse into the intricate world of insect metamorphosis. 3. Subject: The New World screwworm, also known as Wohlfahrtia sp., is a blow fly belonging to the Calliphoridae family, which includes flesh flies. This insect is distinguished by its ability to cause significant damage to livestock and wildlife, particularly in the Americas. 4. Identification: The New World screwworm pupa, as depicted in this photograph, is a hexapod arthropod, meaning it has six legs. It is a part of the Insecta class, Insecta order, and Hexapoda subclass. This stage is often referred to as an instar, representing the intermediate developmental stage between larva and adult. 5. Biology: The New World screwworm is a blow fly, with the adults being commonly referred to as hairy maggot blow flies. They are characterized by their distinctive appearance, with a large, hairy thorax and a slender abdomen. The larvae are white, legless maggots that feed on living tissue, causing significant damage to livestock and wildlife. 6.

The pupa stage is crucial in the insect's life cycle, as it represents the transformation from a larval stage to an adult blow fly. 7.
