Philornis downsi, also known as the avian vampire fly, is a species of fly (Diptera, Muscidae) that was first recorded in Trinidad and Brazil in the 1990s. It has been accidentally introduced to the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). Adults of P. downsi feed on fruit. Eggs are laid in bird nests and hatch into parasitic larvae that reside in the nest material and emerge at night to feed both internally and externally on the blood and flesh of developing nestlings. The parasite causes significant mortality in Darwin's finch nestlings and threatens the survival of some rarer species such as the mangrove finch (Camarhynchus heliobates) and the medium tree finch (C. pauper). To protect the threatened finch populations, insecticide-laced cotton has been supplied as nesting material for the finches, w

| - Philornis downsi is een parasitaire vlieg uit het geslacht van vliegen uit de familie van de echte vliegen (Muscidae). De vlieg werd ontdekt in Trinidad en in 1968 beschreven. Volwassen vliegen leven van fruit. De vlieg legt haar eitjes in de nesten van vogels. De larven voeden zich met het bloed en het weefsel van de jonge vogels. (nl)

Личинки первого возраста паразитируют в носовых пазухах и перьях птенцов, личинки второго и третьего возраста питаются кровью птенцов. Продолжительность жизненного цикла составляет от 17 до 23 дней. В число хозяев входят около 150 видов птиц. (ru)

| - Philornis downsi, also known as the avian vampire fly, is a species of fly (Diptera, Muscidae) that was first recorded in Trinidad and Brazil in the 1990s. It has been accidentally introduced to the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). Adults of P. downsi feed on fruit. Eggs are laid in bird nests and hatch into parasitic larvae that reside in the nest material and emerge at night to feed both internally and externally on the blood and flesh of developing nestlings. The parasite causes significant mortality in Darwin's finch nestlings and threatens the survival of some rarer species such as the mangrove finch (Camarhynchus heliobates) and the medium tree finch (C. pauper). To protect the threatened finch populations, insecticide-laced cotton has been supplied as nesting material for the finches, with the results being highly successful in combating P. downsi infestations at a localized scale. Currently, Biological pest control agents, including Conura annulifera, are being investigated for their potential safety and efficacy in eradicating P. downsi on the Galapagos Islands. (en)

С 2006 года считается наиболее опасным чужеродным видом на этих островах. (ru)
