Abstract
The quantitative analysis of the lipid contents of the thoracic muscles of starved and differently fed female blowflies, Lucilia cuprina was carried out at 4 hourly intervals starting frcm 4-hour old flies. The maximum lipid contents were observed in the beef extract-fed flies (9.90 mg/100 mg) while the minimum were observed in the starved flies (9.85 mg/100 mg). Except for minor fluctuations a consistant decrease was observed in all the categories of the flies. At the end of the experimental period the minimum amount was observed in the starved while the maximum amount was noted in the mixed-fed flies.
