Abstract
The diel pattern of oviposition of field and laboratory populations of the Old World screw‐worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve, was studied. Most oviposition occurred within the two to three hours preceding dusk. Egg masses exposed to solar radiation suffered significant mortality after two hours, demonstrating a selective advantage in the timing of oviposition.
