Abstract
The relative densities of populations of the house fly, Musca domestica L., and the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans L., were studied in north central Florida for 1 year to investigate fluctuations in density and rates of population growth. The density of both species changed gradually, increasing during the spring, stabilizing during summer and early fall, and decreasing from fall until the following spring. When these insects were subjected only to normal environmental stress (no attempt made at control), they had rates of increase from generation to generation of less than 1 to 6X, and the rates were usually less than 3X.
