sapote fruit fly, serpentine fruit fly - Anastrepha serpentina The sapote fruit fly, Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann), sometimes called the serpentine fruit fly, is intercepted frequently in United States ports of entry in various hosts from several countries.

Infestations in tree-ripe fruits frequently are so high that in parts of the country where these fruits are grown, especially in Veracruz, the growers do not permit them to mature on the trees, but pick them green and ripen them artificially to avoid infestation. creatures.ifas.ufl.edu /fruit/tropical/sapote_fruit_fly.htm   (645 words)
