Here, we present a 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data set and profiles demonstrating the bacterial diversity of larval and adult Lucilia sericata , collected from Ashhurst, New Zealand (May 2020). The two dominant genera among adult male and female L. sericata were Serratia and Morganella (phylum Proteobacteria ), while the larvae were also dominated by the genera Lactobacillus , Carnobacterium , and Lactococcus (phylum Firmicutes ).
