Cluster flies are flies of the genus Pollenia in the family Polleniidae. Unlike the more familiar blow flies, such as the bluebottle genus Phormia they do not lay eggs in human food. They parasitise earthworms; the females lay their eggs near earthworm burrows, and the larvae then feed on the worms. But the biology of this group is relatively poorly known and a few have been recorded from other hosts including caterpillars and bees.
Pollenia vagabunda is a species of blow fly in the family Polleniidae. It is widespread in Europe and can be found on carrion, although not associated with any specific stages of decomposition. P. vagabunda has also been found in North America, first being discovered there in 1958, with a range from the east coast to British Columbia.
