Carnus is a genus of flies (Diptera) with 5 described species, all of which are parasites of birds.[3] The adult flies locate a suitable host nest, then shed their wings and feed on the blood of the developing nestlings.[4] Mature female flies lay their eggs in the nest, where their larvae develop on organic detritus.[4]
