Abstract


Calliphorids are the most important blowflies, because they can cause injuries mainly in sheep, but also in other species of economic importance. This paper describes the flies’ behavior on and around a trap before they entered in. Many Lucilia sericata (35.05%) stayed a shorter time (two to six seconds) on the standard trap, while only 6.18% of them spent a longer time (26 to 30 seconds) before entering the trap.
