Biology
This species has
been reported to breed in dead animals from
several groups (e.g. vertebrates,
grasshoppers, snails) and under laboratory
conditions was reared from beef or various
seafood (squid, sea urchin). It was also
reared from dung and faeces of several
vertebrates and from material from birds
nests. Thus, the species appears to have a
rather wide spectrum of breeding media,
although it appears to prefer faeces.
