Ultramorphology of eggshell of flesh fly Liosarcophaga dux (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Eggs of Liosarcophaga dux (Thomson) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) are elongated and slightly bean-shaped, measuring ≈=1.5 mm in length. Each is covered externally by an eggshell comprised of polygonal patterns. In this study, scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the eggshell...
