Ceratitis capitata

Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly, is a significant agricultural pest that affects a wide variety of fruits, including citrus, peaches, and olives. The female fly lays eggs in the fruit, and the larvae feed on the fruit's flesh, causing damage and making the fruit more susceptible to decay. This pest is economically important due to its impact on fruit quality and yield. Integrated pest management strategies, including the use of traps, biological controls, and sterile insect techniques, are employed to manage C. capitata populations.
