Development of the Black Soldier Fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) in Relation to Temperature
ABSTRACT The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L., was reared on a grain-based diet at 27, 30, and 36°C. Survival of 4- to 6-d-old larvae to adults averaged 74–97% at 27 and 30°C but was only… Expand

Vertebrate host specificity of wild–caught blackflies revealed by mitochondrial DNA in blood
Blood–feeding blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) transmit pathogens, harass vertebrate hosts and may cause lethal injuries in attacked victims, but with traditional methods it has proved difficult to… Expand

Patterns of species richness for blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions
Abstract.  1. Patterns of simuliid species richness were examined over a variety of scales at 532 stream sites in the Nearctic (394) and Neotropical (138) regions. In Nearctic streams, species… Expand

Insect Life: The Hidden Ecology of Black Flies: Sibling Species and Ecological Scale
The words black fly might conjure up images of blood-sucking demons that “stick to their prey like bulldogs” and render their hapless victim “a frightful spectacle … bloody, and covered with… Expand

Species richness and spatial distribution of blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in streams of Central Amazonia, Brazil
1. The spatial distribution and species richness of blackflies were evaluated at 58 stream sites in Central Amazonia, Brazil. Samples were taken along a north–south axis of approximately 130 km and a… Expand

Hydrophobic–hydrophilic dichotomy of the butterfly proboscis
Mouthparts of fluid-feeding insects have unique material properties with no human-engineered analogue: the feeding devices acquire sticky and viscous liquids while remaining clean. We discovered that… Expand
