Species Profile
-- Mediterranean
Fruit Fly USDA. NAL.
National Invasive Species Information Center.
The Mediterranean fruit fly is one of the world's
most destructive fruit pests. Because of its wide distribution over the world,
its ability to tolerate colder climates better than most other species of fruit
flies, and its wide range of hosts, it is ranked first among economically important
fruit fly species.
