A fly which lays its eggs on cheese and has an appetite for rotting human flesh is likely to be left out of the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” film

Written by Eva Panagiotakopulu, an entomologist at the University of Edinburgh, and Ana Catarina Garcia, an archaeologist at Nova University in Lisbon, and published in, the paper examines two shipwrecks off the Azores, both of which date to about 1650.

The researchers were interested in how sailing ships ferried invasive species from one continent to another. But their findings also shed light on the unpleasant realities of life at sea in the 17th century..
