FLUORESCENCE OF HOUSEFLY VISUAL PIGMENT [PDF]

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1984
Abstract —The fluorescence of housefly photoreceptors was studied in vivo by using the deep pseudopupil technique. Whereas the rhodopsin R490 of the peripheral retinular cells fluoresces negligibly the metarhodopsin M580 fluoresces distinctly in the red.

Target-Size-Dependent Application of Electrostatic Techniques for Pest Management in Greenhouses

Agronomy, 2022
Two new electrostatic devices were developed to manage greenhouse insect pests. One was an electrostatic insect catcher (EIC) to trap small flying pests, and the other was an arc-discharge zapper (ADZ) to kill larger insects emerging from soil beds.

Houseflies harbor less diverse microbiota under laboratory conditions but maintain a consistent set of host-associated bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2022
The housefly (Musca domestica) is a wide-ranging insect, often associated with decaying matter from livestock and humans. The septic environments in which houseflies live are believed to be a rich source for microbial acquisition.
