In this study the seasonal variation of fecundity, wing and tibia size was investigated in natural populations of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) aiming at determining the variations in life history of the species as a function of seasonality. A relative constant temporal trajectory was found for fecundity, wing and tibia size over twelve months. Strong positive correlations between wing size and temperature, tibia size and temperature and between wing and tibia sizes were observed. The implications of the results for population dynamics of C. megacephala were discussed.
