[Beetles as biological agents in fly control].
309 beetles of 11 species were collected in Apsheron and other regions of Azerbaijan on sites polluted by animal and human feces to study the feasibility of using them as biological agents for flies' control. Two beetle species--S. planus and B. lethifers pterotapha belonging to the Carabidae and Tenebrionidae families--turned out to be predators which could destroy the larva of L. sericata flies under experimental conditions.
