Cluster flies (a.k.a. grass flies or attic flies) are flies of the genus Pollenia in the family Polleniidae. Unlike the more familiar blow flies, such as the bluebottle genus Phormia, they are completely harmless to human health because they do not lay eggs in human food. They are parasitic on 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 is een geslacht van insecten uit de familie van de Bromvliegen (Calliphoridae), dat tot de orde tweevleugeligen (Diptera) behoort. In het Engels worden de vliegen 'clusterflies' genoemd, omdat ze soms in grote groepen voorkomen. Ze bezoeken regelmatig bloemen, waardoor ze meehelpen in de bestuiving. (nl)
  • Vindsflugor (Pollenia) är ett släkte av flugor som hör till familjen spyflugor. Släktets namn kommer av att flugorna ofta övervintrar inomhus, på vindar eller andra liknande utrymmen där de då ibland kan återfinnas i stort antal. Det finns 9 arter i Sverige. (sv)
