β¦ Synopsis
The stable fly hemolymph was analyzed after a blood meal. The hemolymph volume increased to approximately three times the pre-feeding level 3-6 h after a blood meal and gradually returned to normal 18 h after the blood meal. The osmotic pressure decreased approximately 10% following a blood meal and gradually returned to normal with a pattern that was a mirror-image of that of the hemolymph volume. Concentrations of cations and anions are not directly affected by the ingested blood, indicating a possible selective excretory mechanism.
