COMMON NAME: Fruit (small)/vinegar flies
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Drosophila spp.
INTRODUCTION. The common name of small fruit fly comes from their small size and fondness for fruits as egg laying and developmental sites.

These are not only nuisance pests but may act as disease vectors. They are worldwide in distribution and are found throughout Australia.

BIOLOGY. Adult females lay their eggs (average about 500) near the surface of fermenting fruits and vegetables or near the cover crack of imperfectly sealed containers of such materials. The eggs hatch in about 30 hours. The newly emerged adults mate in about 2 days. The life cycle (adult to adult) may be completed in 8-10 days.

Their reproductive potential is enormous. Because of their small size, many species are able to penetrate ordinary screens.
