Novel use of a servosphere to study apodous insects: Investigation of blow fly post-feeding larval dispersal. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolA servosphere was used to record the speed, directionality and phototaxis of individual post‐feeding larvae of two species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on a smooth plastic surface over time. The servosphere rotates to compensate for the movement of an insect placed at its apex, thereby facilitating its unimpeded locomotion in any direction and ...

An assessment of the antibacterial activity in larval excretion/secretion of four species of insects recorded in association with corpses, using Lucilia sericata Meigen as the marker species [PDF]
, 2010 The relative antibacterial activities of excretion/secretion (ES) from two carrion-feeding insects, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy and Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, and a detritivore, Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, were compared to that of Lucilia ...

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2004 Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

Spring Season Survey of the Urban Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Chicago, Illinois [PDF]
, 2017 During May 1980, 1165 blowflies of 12 species were trapped on chemically enhanced rat carrion baits in a dense urban setting in Chicago. In descending order, Cynomyopsis cadaverina, Lucilia sericata, and Phormia regina were the most abundant species ...

In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]
, 2014 Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.

Effects of ante-mortem use of methadone on insect succession patterns
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2021 Background Evaluation of insect succession patterns is a scientific method to estimate the time elapsed since death. Several studies have shown that ante-mortem intake of opioids affect maggot growth rate.
