Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel, 1912) - (Oriental fruit fly)
The fruit fly is a serious pest which attacks a variety of tropical fruits, e.g. mango, guava, avocado and papaya. The natural distribution is southern Asia. It has spread, through infested fruits, to the Hawaiian Islands in 1947 and to other Pacific islands. It was eradicated from some Pacific islands and from Japan (1986). Infestations are also regularly detected in California and Florida, U.S.A., where the species is controlled by eradication campaigns and quarantine treatments.
The life cycle lasts about 2-3 weeks. Pupation occurs in the soil. The introduction of parasitoids, like Fopius arisanus and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata has been quite successful in Hawaii.
