A case of fear and panic associated with hay fever treated with MUSCA DOMESTICA. The case shows the main themes of the insects including work, flight, sudden death, metamorphosis, dirt and confusion of sexual identity.

Thirst in the Blowfly, Lucilia cuprina
Nature, 1964FACTORS controlling the oral intake of water by the blowfly, Phormia regina, have been investigated by Evans1 and Dethier and Evans2, who demonstrated that the acceptance or rejection of water by this insect is correlated with the volume of the blood. This communication describes experiments which indicate that the thirst mechanism of Lucilia cuprina ...

Global attractivity in Nicholson’s blowflies
Applied Mathematics, 1996The author studies the delay differential equation \[ N'(t)=-\delta N(t)+pN(t-\tau)\exp(-aN(t-\tau)),\quad t\geq0, \] used in describing the dynamics of Nicholson's blowflies. When \(p>\delta\), he establishes sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the nontrivial equilibrium.

Stretch Receptors in the Foregut of the Blowfly
Science, 1967Two bipolar neurons are located in a nerve branch connecting the recurrent nerve and foregut of the blowfly Phormia regina Spike activity accompanying peristalsis or controlled enlargement of the foregut region is recorded from two cells in the recurrent nerve. The spikes are abolished by section of the nerve branch

The Climatology of Blowfly Myiasis
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1947The relationship of oviposition to weather, with a standard stimulus (4 per cent. ammonium carbonate), has been tested by a series of 134 exposures of a group of three sheep for one hour. 190 egg clusters were obtained, of which 169 were identified. With the exception of one cluster of L. caesar all were L. sericata.There was a fairly close correlation

1980
Their habit of breeding in putrefying matter has led many of the higher flies into an interesting and sometimes important association with various animals (wild and domesticated) and with man. Although some maggots feed on living plants, it is possible that the original breeding material of the group was decaying vegetation, which is still the normal ...

The evolution of myiasis in blowflies (Calliphoridae)
International Journal for Parasitology, 2003Blowflies (Calliphoridae) are characterised by the ability of their larvae to develop in animal flesh. Where the host is a living vertebrate, such parasitism by dipterous larvae is known as myiasis. However, the evolutionary origins of the myiasis habit in the Calliphoridae, a family which includes the blowflies and screwworm flies, remain unclear ...

The halteres of the blowfly Calliphora
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1993We quantitatively analysed compensatory head reactions of flies to imposed body rotations in yaw, pitch and roll and characterized the haltere as a sense organ for maintaining equilibrium. During constant velocity rotation, the head first moves to compensate retinal slip and then attains a plateau excursion (Fig. 3). Below 500°/s, initial head velocity

Abstract The separation and sterilization of blowfly eggs are significant factors in the culture of sterile maggots for use in the treatment of suppurative infections. Experiments were conducted on the separation of eggs and a method was devised by which they can be separated rapidly and without loss or injury.

Nature, 1955
THE nature of the aromatic component responsible for the tanning of the cuticle of blowfly puparia is not entirely clear. Pryor, Russell and Todd1 isolated protocatechuic acid from puparia of Calliphora erythrocephala, but could not find any phenolic material in Lucilia caesar. They used large quantities of insects preserved in sulphur dioxide solution.
