Abstract:
Investigations into the phototactic behaviour of Chyrsomyia albiceps led to the following results: (a) The phototactic behaviour of the third instar fresh larvae had moved away from the light within 50 sec. (96%). (b) Fatigued larvae moved across the division line several times and took more time to travel away from light.
