ecology; "The larvae of many cuttle-fly species are parasitoids or specialist predators on various
invertebrates including earthworms, molluscs, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes and many insects; and
therefore some may prove useful as agents of biological control for pests (e.g. Robinson & Brown, 1993; Brown, 2000; Morrison, 2000). Some species are themselves pests, such as the notorious spoilers of cultivated mushrooms Megaselia halterata and M. tamilnaduensis. Some are involved in cases of myasis in both humans and livestock, while others are useful in forensic entomology. Other species are important pollinators of plants."
