When female blow flies Lucilia sericata and Phormia regina （Diptera： Cal- liphoridae） oviposit in aggregations on carrion, even-aged larval offspring reportedly de- velop faster, and fewer are parasitized or preyed upon. The benefits of aggregated ovipo- sition equally affect con- and heterospecific larvae sharing a resource. The benefits imply that female blow flies engage in coordinated, pheromone-mediated oviposition behavior. Yet, repeated attempts to identify oviposition pheromones have failed invoking doubt that they exist. Simply by regurgitating and feeding on carrion, flies may produce attractive semiochemicals. If flies were to aggregate in response to feeding flies rather than oviposit- ing flies, then the semiochemical cue（s） may be associated with the salivary gland. Working with L. sericata and P.. regina and using liver as a surrogate oviposition medium, we test the hypotheses, and present data in their support, that （i） gravid or nongravid females ovipositing and/or feeding on liver enhance its attractiveness to gravid and nongravid fe- males; （ii） females respond to semiochemicals from feeding heterospecific females; （iii） females respond equally well to semiochemicals from feeding con- and heterospecific females; （iv） macerated head tissues of females applied to liver enhance its attractiveness; and （v） females in direct contact with and feeding on liver, but not when next to yet physically separated from liver, enhance attraction of flies. We conclude that oviposition site-seeking females do not respond to an oviposition pheromone. Instead, they appear to coopt semiochemicals associated with feeding flies as resource indicators, taking chances that resources are suitable for oviposition, and that ovipositing flies are present.
