Boettcherisca peregrine, as a fly with the necrophagous habits found on human
corpses and a vector of disease or parasitic, myiasis-producing agent, is a significant flesh fly
species in forensic entomology and medical context. This study reviewed the various aspects
of this fly species, including morphology, bionomics, molecular analysis, medical and forensic
entomology involvement, such as morphological characteristics of larva, puparia and adult,
developmental rate of larvae, the effects of heavy metal (such as Cd and Cu) on the growth
and developmentin of larvae, and the impact of some specific stimulis on the labellar
chemosensory hair of B. peregrina. Species identification, gene and functions, myiasis and
forensic case of this species were also outlined. Therefore, the paper has an important
implication for improving the role of B. peregrina in medicine and forensic science.
