Abstract：Objective To understand the species,density,distribution and seasonal fluctuation of flies in Xianning,so as to provide a scientific basis for fly control.Methods The cage trapping method,lamp trapping method and capture method were used to investigate the fly species.And cage trapping method was adopted for ecological surveillance.Results In 2023,flies collected from Xianning were identified as 16 species in 12 genera,5 families.From 2022 to 2024,the average fly density in Xianning was 3.34 flies per cage.Sarcophagidae and Muscina stabulans were the dominant species,accounting for 73.83%.The3-year average fly density was the highest in residential area(5.00 flies per cage)and the lowest in outside catering environment(0.83 flies per cage).The seasonal fluctuation of fly density showed a single-peak curve,with high densities occurring from May to July.Conclusion A preliminary understanding of 16 local fly species was obtained.The dominant species were Sarcophagidae and M.stabulans.The fly density in residential areas and farmers'markets were higher,and the peak period was from May to July.Before the peak period,fly control should focus on cleaning up the breeding sites.During the peak period,in addition to managing breeding sites,chemical control measures should be implemented to achieve rapid reduction of fly density and long-term control.
