Interpretive Summary: Poster to be presented at the Entomological Society of America (ESA) Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, November 2004. Paper 15793. Mark-recapture studies were conducted in a 41 square km agricultural research center near Mead, NE, in June, 2002 and 2004. Piles of cattle-manure contaminated hay debris were dusted manually with Day-Glo fluorescent powders, and marked flies were captured subsequently with transects or grids of sticky traps in the surrounding landscape. Captured flies were ca. 40% female, and virtually all were previtellogenic nullipars. Spatial distributions indicated rates of spread outward from the point sources were 0.06'0.08 square kilometers per day.
