- Abstract
The larvae of blowflies from the Calliphoridae family cause fly strikes in sheep and other species of economic importance. Impaired wool, decrease of ewe fertility, and even death can occur in heavy infestations. This paper describes the Calliphora spp. blowflies' behavior on and around a trap baited with liver and ammonia before they entered in. More than half of Calliphora spp. blowflies (50.88%) stayed a medium time (eight to fourteen seconds) on the standard trap, while only 1.79% of them spent a longer time (26 to 30 seconds) before entering the trap.
