Queensland Fruit Fly
Bactrocera tryoni
Adult Queensland fruit flies inhabit orchards, gardens, woodland edges, and other places with suitable fruiting plants. They fly between flowers, foliage, and fruit, feeding on nectar, honeydew, and fruit juices. Females pierce ripening fruit to lay eggs beneath the skin, making this species a major horticultural pest in eastern Australia.
