Exploring the Variety of Random
Documents with Different Content
 Apparatus for the
cleaner breeding
of gentles.

Fly-blown dead animals, fish, offal, or suitable food remnants

should be placed from time to time in such a receptacle, which
should be surmounted with a removable rain-proof cover and shade
of ample size. The latter should allow a two-inch space or a little
more underneath all around the rim of the pot for ventilation.
Underneath the table or stand a wide and more or less shallow pan
or dish should be placed, and a little clean sharp sand placed
therein.
The gentles, whilst growing and feeding, are called "green"
gentles; their skin is transparent, and in this state chickens do not
like eating them; and it is as well so, for then the half-grown gentles
would be capable of temporarily becoming deleterious internal
parasites in the birds' crop. As soon as they are full grown they crawl
away from the food material and will fall through the strainer-like
obstruction in the bottom hole of the pot into the pan on the ground
underneath. They are then termed clean or "scoured" gentles and
are fit for bird-food or for fishing-bait.
If taken out of the pan and placed in boxes with a little sand, they
will keep three days, more or less, according to the weather; they
then pupate, and in a few days, or weeks, or months, according to
temperature, emerge as blue-bottles. As pupæ they are good and
convenient food for domestic fowls, and for all pheasants and like
game-birds.
If receptacles as above directed are situate in a fowl-run, the hens
will never leave the ground dish unwatched as long as full fed
gentles are maturing. Hens thus fed are prolific layers of eggs, but of
course they must be otherwise fairly fed with farinaceous and
suitable other food and healthy grit. The maggots of no other flies
are worth similarly cultivating; those that feed on vegetable refuse
are more offensive in smell than common gentles; the maggots of
the fungus flies are comparatively clean creatures and free from bad
smell, but the largest are small.
 CHAPTER XIII

A CAMPAIGN OF EFFECTIVE WARFARE

Several authors of recent books, and lately also able lecturers,

have done much to awaken people to a realisation of the dangers of
our ever recurrent summer plague of flies. The advent of the petrol
motor-car and other automobile vehicles has at the most but very
slightly improved the state of affairs within town areas, where mews
were formerly much more numerous. The public press has followed
suit, but something more in the way of a sustained effort for
hygienic reform is desirable. The terrible European war should not
preclude consideration of the subject, for the scourges of fly-borne
contagion have ever followed armies and rivalled the casualties of
the very battlefield. Bands of enthusiasts everywhere should keep
going a veritable anti-fly campaign as one of the most urgent needs
of practical sanitation. Otherwise active support of the cause will
soon languish and be obliterated amongst the multitudinous ever-
changing questions of the day, political and other, which, as
newspaper editors are persuaded, have the attention of the public
for the time being. In spite of the incontestible prospects of
universal benefit it may not be easy to engage a large body of public
support without something like an organised propagandist
movement.
If any readers of this booklet are disposed to join and form a
central body with a view of ultimately founding an association for
promoting the work of fly extermination, the writer will be glad to
find or meet with an honorary secretary and helpers who will work in
the cause and economise in the necessary expenditure of all
contributions received. After the preliminary efforts of starting such
an association, its work will be not only to urge the local sanitary
authorities everywhere to adopt the best possible course of action,
but also to incessantly move public opinion to compel Parliament to
pass laws, capable of administration, for the public welfare in this
matter.
The present booklet had its origin very many years ago in the
author's idea of writing an account of the house-fly and its kindred,
which would be interesting and more truthful than much then to be
found in current literature. Such off-hand inconsiderate writing, as
appears in the "Elements of Entomology," by W. S. Dallas, F.L.S.,
requires to be controverted; therein it is stated that the house-fly,
which is "troublesome, does very little actual damage, for our only
real grounds of complaint are to be summed up in the tickling
sensation which its feet cause," &c. "In its larvæ state, however, it
lives inoffensively enough in dung." It has now seemed timely to
publish my long-delayed work, re-written with the object of more
urgently interesting the general public in the cause of the anti-fly
campaign. Still, the author trusts that both the deeper and the less
entomologically inclined nature students will find therein not only
useful, but also some novel information, given with not too much
entomological technicality.
There is no English work sufficiently modern and comprehensive
for a study of our native flies. In 1776, Moses Harris, who originated
or elaborated the study of wing patterns, published his "Exposition
of English Insects," in which more than 300 flies are figured and
described; they have the old Linnæan classification and
nomenclature, of course, and the work is scarce. All later attempts
by English authors in the way of a more comprehensive student's
guide book have been left incomplete. Another excellent, but
expensive work, Curtis's "Genera of British Insects," contains about
250 illustrations and descriptions of flies; but most of these are
rather rarities, and the amateur in search of a facile guide to the
commoner objects of the country-side will be apt to be disappointed.
For the sake of readers possibly eager of advancing further in the
study, and in the absence of any commendable guide book, a short
appendix has been added to the present work, for help in identifying
more numerous species and those of many families and genera not
mentioned in the foregoing pages. With the leave of the
Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Natural History
Society some valuable plates of illustrations are herewith reprinted,
and explanatory notes are added, mainly from the volume of the
Society's transactions for 1906, a most valuable work and
compilation by the late Rev. W. J. Wingate, of Bishop Auckland. This
learned entomologist has succeeded in giving a marvellously
comprehensive amount of clear condensed guidance. It is a great
privilege that the present booklet has been allowed to borrow from
such a source of knowledge, valuable far beyond the locality of its
authorship.
Other illustrations which have been borrowed appear with the
leave of His Majesty's Office of Works, out of Reports to the Local
Government on Public Health and Medical Subjects.
 FLY CHART.

Plate I. (APPENDIX)
APPENDIX
 INDEX TO TERMS AND SYMBOLS
OF THE
WINGATE FLY CHART, PLATE I.

This Index, together with the following "Table of Wing-cells and

Veins," the "Glossary," and plates, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII, will
explain the theoretical Diagram entitled The Fly Chart, illustrating
characteristic features and exterior parts, by the study of which the
reader may learn to differentiate all the sixty families which contain
species native to Great Britain.
A = the Head, comprising nine regions and parts (A, I to A, IX).
A, I, the Vertex, which contains (1) the Ocellar Triangle; (2) the
Ocelli; (3) the Vertical Triangle, a coloured patch surrounding the
ocellar triangle; (7) the Vertical Orbit, the sides of the vertex close to
the compound eyes. The Bristles hereabouts are (4) the Vertical
(inner and outer); (5) the Post-vertical; and (6) the Ocellar.
A, II, the Compound Eyes, large and often hairy.
A, III, the Frons is the forehead between the eyes; it contains (1)
the Frontal Stripe; (2) the Frontal Orbits at the sides of the frontal
stripe; (3) the Frontal Lunule (plate VII, 5) a crescent immediately
above the antennæ. The Bristles hereabouts are (4) one pair of
Frontal; a row, or rows of (5) Fronto-orbital; and (6) Lower Fronto-
orbital. The (7) Eye Margin is a narrow, often glistening, white line
close to the eye.
A, IV, Antennæ, jointed processes springing from between the
eyes just below the frons; those with numerous joints are illustrated
in plate II, others in plate III. The Frontal Suture in the middle of
the face is a little pit in which short antennæ often lie close together.
The (1) Basal Joints are the two next the head; (2) the Flagellum, all
the joints, when numerous, taken together; (3) the First Joint is next
the head; (4) the Second Joint; (5) the third Joint (plate III, 1-9) is
sometimes ringed; (6) the Arista, or Seta, is a plume, spine, or
bristle springing from the third joint at some point of its upper
surface between the base and the tip.
A, V, the Face is the region above the so-called mouth and below
the antennæ; the ridges bounding the face on each side are (1) the
Facialia; here are (2) the Facial Bristles; (3) the Mystax (pl. VI, fig.
28) is peculiar.
A, VI, the Cheeks, spaces at the sides between A, II and A, V (I).
A, VII, the Jowls, parts below A, VI and the so-called mouth.
A, VIII, the Mouth, more or less of a cavity into which (3) the
Proboscis (the jointed sucking trunk) can be sometimes partly
withdrawn; the proboscis has a basal joint called the Rostrum (a
snout); the other joint is called the Haustellum (a pump) and has the
tip variously adapted as for mere surface suction, or for deep
insertion, or for piercing. (1) the Peristome is the region surrounding
the mouth; (2) the Vibrissæ are strong bristles close to the sides of
the mouth, or A, V (I); (4) the Palpi, two feelers (or perhaps
smelling organs) attached to the proboscis.
A, IX, the Back of the Head; here (I) Post-orbital Bristles are
sometimes found, that is to say, behind the eyes, A, II.
B = the Thorax, the middle portion of the fly bearing the organs of
locomotion.
B, I, the Dorsum. The diagram on plate VI, fig. 40 illustrates the
upper surface of this region; this part is bounded in front by (a) the
Neck; behind by (b) the Scutellar Suture (15) or Seam; at the sides
by (c) the Dorso-pleural Sutures (9-9) running from the front corners
to the front of the Wing Bases; by (d) the Wing Bases (10-10); and
by (e) the Scutellar Bridges, which are ridges (11-11) running with
right and left inclines to the root of (6) the Scutellum. The Dorsum is
crossed by (8) the Dorsal Suture, behind which are the Alar Regions
(5-5); here on each side is a ridge (12-12) the Alar Frenum; rows of
minute bristles on the centre are termed Acrostichal.
B, II, the Sides, or Pleuræ, specified separately in connection with
—
B, III, the Breast, or Sternum; (1) the Prothorax is below the
shoulder and above the fore-leg; (2) the Meso-pleura is contiguous
to the prothorax and the shoulder; here in the upper front corner is
the "Stigma," a prominent respiratory orifice, below which the large
Stigmatical Bristle may be found; the (3) Ptero-pleura is below the
wings and behind the meso-pleura; (4) the Meta-pleura is "a more
or less tubercular piece below the region between the root of the
wing and the haltere"; (5) the Sterno-pleura is above the middle leg
and below the Sterno-pleural Suture, where it bounds the meso-
pleura; (6) the Hypo-pleura is behind the sterno-pleura and above
the hind leg.
B, IV, the Meta-Notum is the part of the thorax behind and
beneath B, I (6), the scutellum.
C = Appendages of the thorax.
C, I, Fore-legs, Mid-legs, and Hind-legs; every leg has nine joints
[particularised illustrations on plate VII]; (1) Coxæ are the joints
attached to the body; (2) Trochanters very small and inconspicuous;
(3) Femora or Thighs; (4) Tibiæ or Shins; (5) First Tarsal Joint or
Metatarsus; (6) Second Tarsal Joint; (7) Third; (8) Fourth; (9) Fifth
Tarsal Joint; (10) the Knees are where the Thighs and Shins join;
(11) Claws, Foot-pads, and Empodium are appendages of the fifth
tarsal joint.
C, II, Wings [see Table of wing-cells and veins]; the quarters of
the wing are the Fore and the Hind Basal Regions and the Fore and
the Hind Apical Regions. The Stigma is a thickened portion of the
wing at the middle of the fore margin.
C, III, the Halteres.
C, IV, Squamæ are scale-like appendages beneath the wings and
above the halteres; they seem to have some attachment to the roots
of the wings; a small inner lobe is called the antisquama, but it is a
feature not of much use in classifying and differentiating species.
D = the Abdomen has numerous ringed sections; in the Sub-order,
Cyclorrhapha in eight segments, but commonly divided into four or
five conspicuous segments and three or four more smaller, less
visible, and much modified in the sexual terminal segments.
D, I, the first abdominal segment is the Basal Segment.
D, II, the last of those more visible is the Anal Segment or Anus.
D, III, the abdominal termination, see plate VI, fig. 17.
D, IV, the chief segments consist each of an Upper Plate joined to
an Under Plate by Membranous Sides, often concealed.
D, V, Abdominal Bristles, see plate VI, fig. 41.
E = Bristles, Hairs, etc.; fine short furry hairs are called
Pubescence; "Hairs" are longer and stronger; Bristles are still
stronger; but a very thick bristle is called a Spine, if on the costa,
and a Spur, if on the leg; the larger bristles on B or on D are called
Macrochætæ.
F = Stripes and Bands; a long marking, when parallel (or nearly
so) to the major axis of the body, leg, or wing, is called a Stripe;
when lying at right angles (or nearly so) it is called a Band. For
"frontal stripe" see A, III (1).
O = Cells of the wing [see the following Table]; the rib-like
nervures are termed Veins; these divide the area of the wing into
more or less twelve compartments called Cells or Areolets.
V = Longitudinal Veins [see the following Table]; two groupings
within the margin can be recognised; the principal veins of the Fore
Region are numbered, 1, 2, and 3, whilst those of the Hind Region
are numbered, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively; some have branches, a, b,
c, etc., when sections (separately referred to) may have index
numerals attached.
X = Cross-Veins [see the following Table]; one very significant X-
vein termed X, 4 (or the Discal X) in the middle of the wing connects
the longitudinal V, 4 to the V, 3, which are thus to be identified even
in very abnormal patterns.
The cross-veins and cells are symbolised by having attached to the
letters X and O respectively the indicative and qualifying figures and
letters belonging to the V upon which they rest, that is to say, the V
(or part of V) which is the lower boundary.
