| | | | Fruit flies - Tephritidae | | Tephritidae are also called “fruit flies” and are a family of the flies. While about 290 species are found in Central Europe, there are approximately 4,500 species worldwide. Some examples of species are: Rhagoletis cerasi, Lonicera Fly, apple maggot and mediterranean fruit fly. | | |
| | | The small to medium-sized Tephritidae have wings with striking markings. They have both compound and simple eyes. The females have a tubular organ (ovipositor) on the abdomen with which they insert their eggs directly in plants and fruits. | | |
| | | The life span of the adults is often only a few days. The larvae live within almost all parts of plants. Some species inject their eggs into plant leaves on which a small ball grows with the eggs inside, other species live parasitically in the implantations of other insects. | | |
| | | Many species of Tephritidae cause considerable damage in agriculture and to orchards, while nets to protect against insects often are ineffective. | | |
