Sand Fly Life Cycle Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JC-BE-5201
The Sand Fly Life Cycle Model by Jaincolab is a biology teaching model depicting the developmental stages of the sand fly, a small dipteran insect of medical importance as the vector of Leishmania parasites. Designed for zoology, entomology and parasitology laboratories, this sand fly teaching model illustrates a life cycle that differs notably from that of mosquitoes.
Sand flies undergo complete metamorphosis through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Unlike mosquitoes, whose immature stages are aquatic, sand fly larvae develop terrestrially in moist, organic rich soil, leaf litter, cracks in walls or animal burrows, feeding on decaying organic matter through several instars before pupating. The small, hairy adult fly holds its wings in a characteristic upright V shape at rest and is most active at dusk and night. Female sand flies are the vectors of Leishmania parasites, which cause leishmaniasis, making this Jaincolab biology equipment model valuable for teaching both entomology and medical parasitology.
Life Cycle Stages Depicted
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Egg | Laid in moist, organic rich soil or cracks in walls, not water |
| Larva | Terrestrial, feeds on decaying organic matter through several instars |
| Pupa | Non feeding terrestrial stage preceding adult emergence |
| Adult | Small, hairy fly; female is the vector of Leishmania parasites |
