hello

In order to evaluate the moment of death of domestic animals (I am a vet), I am looking for these informations :

- how to recognise the different stages (L1, L2, L3) of dipterian larvae ?
- how to recognise the species from the larvae ?
- what are the duration of each stage of the cycle (at different temperatures) ?

The species I am interested in are :
C. Vicinia and vomitora
L. sericata, caesar and illustris
C. albiceps
P. regina
P. terranovae

For human forensic entomology, the method consists in growing the larvae until they they become adults to determinate the species and the date of egg laying. About this method I found very precise data on the web.

I don't need the same precision, and I would like to simplify the method : just determinate the species and the stage, to evaluate approximatively the moment of egg laying.

If you have datas about it, I am very interested !

thank you
