Sarcophaga johnsoni
Sarcophaga johnsoni is a species of flesh fly in the family Sarcophagidae, first described by Aldrich in 1916. Like other members of the genus Sarcophaga, this species exhibits the characteristic gray thorax with three longitudinal black stripes and checkered abdominal pattern typical of flesh flies. The species is placed in the subgenus Wohlfahrtiopsis within the genus Sarcophaga. Identification to species level requires examination of male genitalia due to the uniform external morphology shared among many sarcophagid species.
