Lucilia is one of the most important blowfly genera in forensic
entomology due to their frequent occurrence on human bodies [1]. Beside the carrion colonizing taxa, we find parasites of frogs and toads as well as species causing myiasis [1–6]. So far four species, L. ampullacea, L. caesar, L. illustris and L. sericata, are regularly found on human corpses in Europe. Lucilia cuprina, despite first being recorded in Spain about 20 years ago [7] and occurring on carrion in the Iberian Peninsula [8], does not play a comparable role, but definitely has the potential to act as a major agent – at least in South Europe.
