Distribution
It has been reported from all provinces of Pakistan except Sindh (
Ghorpade
2015
,
Ghorpade
and Shehzad 2013
). The species is cosmopolitan (
Byrd and Castner 2010
,
Chiewchanvit et al. 2017
).
Notes
It is commonly known as cluster fly and these are common household nuisances during autumn and winter months. They are parasitic to earthworms (
Capinera 2008
). Adults are found during June to October in the study area. This is the first record for the Province (Fig.
11
).
