Fine structure of the eggshell of the blow fly, Lucilia cuprina.
The fine structure of the eggshell of blow fly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), was examined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Eggs, 1.09+/-0.07 mm in length and 0.25+/-0.05 mm in width, bore a relatively wide plastron that extending along almost the entire l...
