(from Wikipedia) Flesh flies are ovoviviparous, opportunistically laying hatched or hatching maggots instead of eggs on carrion, dung, decaying material, or open wounds of mammals. Some flesh fly larvae are internal parasites of other insects such as Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets).
I found this mating pair of flesh flies on January 21, 2017.
