Phormia regina puparia show a rough appearance and a characteristic posterior region with the posterior spiracle, big and rounded, located in a superficial invagination (Fig. 2), and minute, sharp intersegmental spines arranged in short rows. P. regina readily visits decomposing material and frequents cadavers at crime scenes. Kamal (1958), Greenberg (1991), Anderson (2000), and Byrd and Allen (2001) looked at developmental rates of P. regina, but they did not examine potential sources of variation within their experiments. The focus of this study was to gather additional data on P. Phormia regina. Phormia regina is an agent of facultative myiasis, whereby adult flies lay eggs in pre-existing, festering wounds. Unlike other agents of myiasis, they do not invade healthy, living tissue. This species is another member of the Calliphoridae and is common throughout the northern hemisphere. Phormia regina, the black blow fly, belongs to the blow fly family Calliphoridae and was first described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen.The black blow fly's wings are specialized with a sharp bend. These flies are also have well-developed calypters. Blow flies generally are about the size of a house fly or a little larger, and many are metallic blue Phormia regina was clearly the dominant species with large numbers of third instars observed at every 3-h collection period from 81 to 153 h on both carcasses. Mean lengths of third-instar P Both P. regina and L. sericata were reduced to 50% survival at ~41 °C, with 0% survival occurring for both species by 44 °C. Similarly, as temperature increased, the number of eggs laid decreased. Phormia regina ceased laying eggs by 41 °C, while L. sericata laid viable eggs until 43 °C.
