Abstract

AbstractThe pattern of blood feeding in males ofStomoxys calcitransL. is different from that of females. Female flies ingest more blood than males. Females fed only blood or blood and sugar-waterad libitumshowed a periodic pattern of blood ingestion. The amount of blood ingested at the time of first feeding is partly dependent upon the age of the flies; in addition flies fed only blood ingest more than flies whose blood diet is supplemented with sugar-water. During the period prior to blood feeding the weight loss per day increased as the fly aged. On the other hand if the flies were fed with sugar-water from the time of emergence they gained considerable weight. The rate of weight loss after one blood meal was of the same pattern in flies fed 24 or 48 h after emergence. The pattern of weight loss was also similar in flies fed sugar-waterad libitumand blood 24 h after emergence.
