A study to determine the relative abundance and seasonality of forensically important blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in rural north-central Florida was conducted using pig carcasses (Sus scrofa L.) as models for human bodies. Seven species of Calliphoridae were collected: Lucilia coeruleiviridis (=Phaenicia) (Macquart), Cochliomyia macellaria (F.), Chrysomya rufifaces (Macquart), Phormia regina (Meigen), Chrysomya megacephala (F.), and a few specimens of Calliphora livida Hall, and Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy. Species composition in aerial collections of adult flies, preserved larval collections, and samples of larvae reared to the adult stage were all highly correlated. Relative abundance of the species found was significantly different, with L. coeruleiviridis the most abundant species year-round. The relative abundance of the collected species varied significantly by day of decomposition and by season, with significant interactions between season and day, season and species, and day and species. L. coeruleiviridis, C. macellaria, C. rufifaces, and P. regina were found during the entire year, two C. vicina specimens and 11 C. livida specimens were collected from December to March, whereas C. megacephala was collected only from June through September.
一项以猪尸体（野猪 Sus scrofa L.）作为人体模型，来确定佛罗里达州中北部农村地区具有法医学重要性的丽蝇（双翅目：丽蝇科）相对丰度和季节性的研究展开。共采集到七种丽蝇科物种：蓝绿丽蝇 Lucilia coeruleiviridis（= 绿蝇 Phaenicia）（Macquart）、蛆症异蚤蝇 Cochliomyia macellaria（F.）、红头丽蝇 Chrysomya rufifaces（Macquart）、黑尾黑麻蝇 Phormia regina（Meigen）、大头金蝇 Chrysomya megacephala（F.），以及少数的紫绿蝇 Calliphora livida Hall 和肥须亚麻蝇 Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy 标本。成虫的空中采集样本、保存的幼虫样本以及饲养至成虫阶段的幼虫样本中的物种组成都高度相关。所发现物种的相对丰度存在显著差异，蓝绿丽蝇是全年最丰富的物种。所采集物种的相对丰度在分解天数和季节上有显著变化，季节与天数、季节与物种、天数与物种之间存在显著的交互作用。蓝绿丽蝇、蛆症异蚤蝇、红头丽蝇和黑尾黑麻蝇全年均有发现，12 月至 3 月采集到 2 只肥须亚麻蝇标本和 11 只紫绿蝇标本，而大头金蝇仅在 6 月至 9 月采集到。
