The suppressing effect of three predators of the immature stages of the house fly Musca domestica L. on its population in a breeding site in Alexandria

Abstract: In four breeding sites in Alexandria, an exceptionally low count of house fly population at El‐Raml was found to coincide with the abundance of three predators i. e. two species of dung beetles and a predaceous mite. The predators were identified as Sphaeridium bipustulatus F., Sphaeridium caffrum (Cost), and Macrocheles glaber, and field counts demonstrated the inverse proportionality of the population densities of predators and house flies. The life cycle of the two dung beetle species and the Machrochelid m… Show more
