Sclerotization in the Blowfly Imago
Science, 1964N -acetyldopamine has been identified as a dihydroxyphenylalanine metabolite in the blowfly imago during eclosion. The activity of the dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase, the main enzyme responsible for its formation, which is minimal during the pupal stage, increases 1 day before eclosion.

The composition of the empty puparia of a blowfly
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970Abstract The exuviae after emergence of adult Lucilia cuprina were analysed chemically. The rigid, sclerotized puparia were separated from the thin inner membranes made up of pupal and other cuticular structures. Both systems contained lipids, chitin, protein, and metallic and other elements.

Spectral sensitivity of the landing blowfly
Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 1983Whether or not colour discrimination is involved in the process of eliciting the landing response of the fly was investigated with rotating linear spiral patterns of different spectral composition. With monochromatic patterns execution of the response depends on the contrast in the pattern: no response occurs within a restricted range of intensity ...

Journal of Morphology, 1934
AbstractThis paper deals with the morphology of all the so‐called gustatory and olfactory organs of blowflies, and describes tests conducted to determine whether these insects taste with their tarsi and smell with their antennae and palpi. Antennae bear two types of so‐called olfactory hairs, while palpi bear only one.

Homoeopathic Links, 2010
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.

Nicholson's blowflies revisited
Nature, 1980A simple time-delay model of laboratory insect populations which postulates a ‘humped’ relationship between future adult recruitment and current adult population gives good quantitative agreement with Nicholson's classic blowfly data and explains the appearance of narrow ‘discrete’ generations in cycling populations.

Contact Chemoreceptors of Blowfly Tarsi
Nature, 1954THE contact chemoreceptors of blowfly tarsi have been the subject of much experimental work since the existence of a tarsal taste sense in the Calliphoridae was discovered by Minnich1; the literature has been reviewed elsewhere2,3. The receptors concerned have not been positively identified and no details of the structure of the receptor surface have ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
