The Dark World of the Crippled Coffin Fly
Photo: Tom Murray
Coffin flies come from the family Phoridae of wingless (or virtually wingless) flies. They are small and hump-backed, somewhat resembling a fruit fly. They hardly fly, but rather scuttle along surfaces like the dirt, able to dig up to six feet into the soil. They are only found in warm climates such as along the Mediterranean, in South Africa and in the southern part of the US.
