Abstract
Data collected over a period of 2 years have shown that diapause in 3rd-instar larvae of Lucilia sericata (Mg.) may be of maternal origin and that its incidence gradually increased in the latter part of the blowfly season. The age of female flies has no significant effect on the amount of diapause. The capacity to give diapausing batches was lost by the majority of flies kept under standard laboratory conditions for 10-16 days.
