The effect of the topical application of the synthetic juvenile hormone JH-I on adult specimens of Musca domestica vicina Macq was studied. The adult stage responded to different JH-I concentrations in different ways. The gonotrophic cycle was shortened, the number of eggs decreased and the hatching rate was reduced. The adults of the next generation displayed a number of anomalies. The ovarian amino acid concentrations varied considerably according to the dose of JH-I and the stage of maturation of the relevant ovary.
