Some setae was involved but these blow flies nonetheless remain undetermined.

A screenshot from the iNaturalist website showing my observation from this weekend of a big black and blue blowfly. The species name across the top says "Rango Pango · New Zealand Blue Blowfly, Calliphora quadrimaculata". (I have iNaturalist set for me to display Māori names then English names so I can practice the Māori names.) https://inaturalist.nz/observations/304190384

Another photo of a big black and blue blowfly, sitting on blue clothing. This photo shows more clearly the iridescent blue abdomen.
Behold, Rango Pango!
That's the Māori name for this elegant native New Zealand blowfly. The fly is mostly black with a big shiny blue abdomen.
This rango pango landed on a student during our weekend field trip up in the North Canterbury mountains. She (the […]

A map of Joshua Tree National Park highlights research findings on blow fly communities. The map is split into three zones: Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and the Transition Zone. Collection sites are marked with symbols for different studies: Study 1 (Mojave Desert, Transition Zone, Sonoran Desert) and Study 2 (high-visitor activity and low-visitor activity sites). Two main questions are presented: Do blow fly communities differ between neighboring deserts? Results show differences temporally and spatially, with the Mojave Desert differing from the Transition Zone and Sonoran Desert. What is the impact of human activity on blow fly communities within protected areas? Community composition did not differ, but species richness varied seasonally and was unaffected by visitor activity levels. Additional visuals include icons representing seasons (leaf and tree symbols), human activity (campfire symbol), and blow fly species (small fly icons). A scale bar (miles/kilometers) and credits to mapping sources (Esri, NASA, NPS, etc.) appear at the bottom of the image.

In this study, we explored blow fly community composition in neighboring deserts within Joshua Tree National Park.
