But did they get there of their own accord or did they hitch a ride ?
Visit here for some ideas on insect flight (impressive!). However, I also found this which measured sheep blowflies Lucilia sericata as only travelling 135 to 183m during a day.
All that said, I can't show one way or another whether or not the larvae came in on animals or the flies flew in. I did see in the sheep blowfly study that populations of 6 female blowflies/hectacre were observed - could the blowflies have been munching on something else in the area (something within 500 ft or so)before flying to Danielle's body?
Guess we'll have to wait on more info from the experts. Sorry I couldn't clear this up more.

Gee, could it have been the DEAD DOG that attracted the searchers in the first place ?
