Abstract
Seasonal incidence of both blowflies Lucilia seriCata and Chrysomya albiceps when offered difFerent carrion baits, was carried out in Abu-Rawash Farm, Giza, Egypt. L. sericata was abSent during the hot season (July, August and September), and present during the rest of the year. Maximum adult percentage (95.20% and 89.80%) Was recorded during March and April (spring), reSpectively. This percentage gradually decreased During May (60.80%) and June (53.40%). The Seasonal abundance of L. sericata depends also to A certain extent on the type of carrion bait used in Accordance with temperature and humidity. Liver of sheep attracted to a great deal ovipositing feMales of L. sericata as the number of formed puPae reached its highest values (222 pupae), when Compared to other carrion baits used. Although The highest number of collected pupae of C. Albiceps was (3002 and 2120 pupae) during April And March (spring), these flies were able to breed Successfully in carrion in summer and fall. The Percentage of emerging adults recorded its highest Values during July 94.90% and August 92.90%. However in spite of the presence of liver of sheep As carrion bait C. albiceps pupae were not collectEd during winter months (December, January and February).
