Letters a and b denote significant differences between the sex ratios of flies collected in different seasons, where a corresponds to p = 0.0142 and b with p<0.001; n = number of sampling occasions. Note that flies sampled from latrines in July are not included in the table since they were not separated into C. putoria and C. albiceps. For each sampling method surveys were each made over one to three weeks in the wet and dry season.
