Constancy, dominance and monthly frequency of muscoid flies (Diptera) and their parasitoids associated with bovine fresh dung in Uberlândia, MG

Ten samples of bovine dung were taken at random, each month, from pats approximately one week old, placed in plastic containers and taken to the laboratory. Arthropods were extracted by flotation in water. Pupae were individually placed in gelatin capsules until emergence of adult flies or their parasitoids. In this site, 50% of the hosts were more abundant during the warm humid season. Parasitoids were more abundant during the dry warm season. Palaeosepsis insularis Williston e Eucoilidae sp.3 were the dominants species.
