AB <p>An experiment was conducted to evaluate the pupation site preference of&nbsp;<em>Calliphorid</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Sarcophagid</em>&nbsp;flies towards the various pupation materials in the months of October and December. Flies were released in the two batches of &ldquo;10&rdquo; and &ldquo;50&rdquo;.&nbsp; Six pupations materials were the news paper strips, fresh leaves, dry leaves, decayed fruits, decayed vegetables and folded clothes. Data were recorded for fifteen minutes for five consecutive days.&nbsp; Results showed that decayed vegetables proved the best sites for pupation in both batches &ldquo;10&rsquo; and &ldquo;50&rdquo; respectively during the month of October. In the month of December decayed fruits and fresh leaves proved the most preferred site in the batches of &ldquo;50&rdquo;. and &ldquo;10&rdquo; respectively. In both months and batches folded clothes found the least attractive site for pupation.</p>
