Abstract
An attractant self-marking device for stable flies was developed using fluorescent dusts applied to the fiberglass panels of the Williams Trap. Flies that were attracted to the trap inadvertently marked themselves as they came in contact with the dusted surface of the trap panels. The fluorescent dust can be seen easily on flies by means of a long-wave ultraviolet light. Fluorescent dust was observed on flies a maximum of 14 days after marking. This marking technique had no discernible adverse effect on the survival or movement of the flies and provided an excellent means for studying natural movement and survival of wild flies in the field.
