In Large cages the flies frequently rest on the upper woodwork ."> feet above the ground. They become act ive at to 7 p. m. during July.

The females deposit larvae rather than eggs. The exact method of placement of these in regard to the host and the manner of pene- tration of the Larvae into i he host have not been determined.
