Abstract
Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann,
1830) (Class: Insecta; Order: Diptera; Family: Calliphoridae) is a blowfly of
forensic importance belonging to the family Calliphoridae. In India,
researchers have identified 119 species of Calliphoridae belonging to 30 genera
across 9 subfamilies. They play an essential role in the decomposition process,
making them an invaluable resource in forensic science. They play a
valuable role as pollinators of some plants in horticulture and can
increase seed yields. The life cycle and developmental stages of L. cuprina on Rohu
carp (Labeo rohita) were studied from 15.03.2024 to 01.04.2024. Like
other dipterans, it undergoes four stages of growth: egg, larva, pupa, and
adult.
