Could anyone post a really clear photo of the above species feeding, showing it regurgitating. I'm afraid that I do not possess the requisite photographic equipment to do this.

Incidentally, further to my previous query, I have managed to find about 80 pathogens, parasites etc both human and animal, which are carried by the common housefly.

About 150 bacteria species just in one hand; the article says too that women have more "biodiversity" than men, but there´s no explanation about it !
