McLEOD, D.G.R.
Adults of the seed-corn maggot, Hylemyia cilicrura (Rond.), are able to discriminate between different protein sources and prefer brewers' yeast. It is also shown that more eggs are laid when flies are fed brewers' yeast than when fed soya flour or a mixture of soya flour and brewers' yeast. In a time lapse study it is shown that there is a change in the flies' behavior as they become older. Initially sucrose is preferred, then brewers' yeast, and finally the ovi-position site.
