Larval morphology of Chrysomya nigripes (Diptera: Calliphoridae), a fly species of forensic importance

The morphology of all instars of Chrysomya nigripes Aubertin, a blow fly species of forensic importance, is presented with the aid of both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Morphological features of the cephalopharyngeal skeleton, anterior spiracle, posterior spiracle, and dor...
