This article presents the first record of Hermetia illucens larvae on a human corpse in Spain ( the second case report in Europe). Prepupae of H. illucens, and other insects, were recovered from the dead body of a 72-year-old man in an advanced stage of decomposition. The body was located in Reus ( NE Spain), in October 1998. This article provides additional biological data on experimental studies and an update on the geographic distribution of this species in the Iberian Peninsula. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
