Desenvolvimento pós-embrionário de Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Muscidae) em diferentes dietas, sob condiçöes de laboratório / Post-embryonic development of Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Muscidae), in different diets, under laboratory conditions

RESUMO

The performance of various diets (bovine meat, fish-sardine, shrimp, dog faeces, and banana) in Ophyra aenescens development was evaluated. The biology was studied in an incubator (BOD) at 27ñ1ºC and 80ñ10 per cent of RH. The development time from larvae to adult, the developmental time and viability of larvae and pupae, the weight of pupae as well as the sex ratio of the emerging adults were also determined. Beef and shrimp were the more efficient diets for rearing O. aenescens.
