Hello folks,
A question for those with an oligochaete background or with direct
experience of these flies!
Does anyone know any interesting biology or have information sources on the
cluster flies, Pollenia, or other dipterans, in relation to earthworm
parasitism, updated beyond what I see in Stephenson 1930:654?
What are cluster flies? Further info at:

Apparently Pollenia pseudorudis made its way to New Zealand in the
recent past. I am uncertain whether the colonisers established or died
out.
