After completing their development larvae of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, leave the sheep or carcase at night. This pattern of exodus was found to be present through a wide range of photoperiods and nightly minimum temperatures. The time of peak exodus during the night varied depending on whether it was early or late in the period of exodus from the strike. Evidence is presented that an endogenous rhythm is partially responsible for the pattern of exodus. Since sheep rest at night in preferred camp sites, the pupae and emerging adults of Lucilia cuprina are probably concentrated around these camp sites.
