Abstract
Larval populations of Inopus rubriceps (Macquart) in two sugarcane fields in southern Queensland, Australia, consisted of a mixture of small 7.5 mg) larvae during 20 mo of observation. Small larvae predominated during winter and spring. Large larvae were found closest to the soil surface in autumn (during the pupation period). The median depths of occurrence of large larvae during other months and of small larvae throughout the year were positively correlated with soil temperature and independent of soil moisture. Most larvae were within 15 cm of the surface in all months. Larvae were concentrated along the sugarcane rows.
