New geographic distribution of Chrysomya megacephala, the Oriental latrine blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae), in Mexico using citizen science and social media

Abstract: In the present study we discuss the distribution of the exotic species Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) in Mexico, combining data from natural history collections, social media and citizen science. The oriental latrine blow fly is recorded for the first time in 16 Mexican states. Additionally, we provide an easy-to-follow guide to compare this species with similar looking species recorded from Mexico to help with its identification.

“…These findings demonstrate the power of citizen-science initiatives in uncovering previously unknown distribution patterns and expanding our understanding of species ranges ( Barahona-Segovia et al 2022 , Jaume-Schinkel and Mengual 2022 , Jaume-Schinkel et al in press ). The integration of citizen-science initiatives has proven to be an invaluable asset in advancing our understanding of species distribution patterns ( Barahona-Segovia and Barceló 2021 ).…”

“…Citizen-science projects can provide a more accurate picture of the real distribution of species. Previous studies by Maistrello et al (2016) , Alaniz et al (2018) , Dörler et al (2018) , Barahona-Segovia and Barceló (2021) , Jaume-Schinkel and Mengual (2022) , Kvifte (2023) , Jaume-Schinkel et al (in press) have highlighted the importance of citizen science in capturing species distribution data. In our study, we found two new records for The Netherlands through a citizen-science project, adding valuable information to the existing knowledge base.…”
