Geometric morphometric of wings was used to identify and know the variation in the size and the shape of the wings of two groups of blow fly species Calliphora vicina , one group composed of wings of adult flies resulted from larvae previously reared beef liver spiked with imipramine 25mg drug and the second group were the wings of adult flies emerged from larvae reared on untreated beef liver as a control group . The average centroid size of the left wing were 1361.15 for the treated resulted group and 1388.66 for the control group. Each groups were reared at same environmental conditions of humidity 37.16% RH and temperature 27.78 C˚ . The results showed that there were no significant differences in the average of the centroid size for the left wing for the blow fly C. vicina of the two groups , which probably means that the specimens of the treated group did not affected by the given drug- treated ( imipramine – treated ) diet .
