The developmental rate of the
pre-oviposition stage reached physiological maximum at the higher temperature (36°C). At 18°C, no
female oviposited. The survival rate reached maximum at 24 - 33°C and decreased at higher or lower
temperature. The lower developmental thresholds, thermal constants and lethal high temperatures for
different life stages of the fly were also estimated. The results will be useful for the predicting the fly’s
population dynamics and
