Ceratitis capitata
It is a species of fruit fly capable of causing extensive damage to a wide range of fruit crops. It is native to the Mediterranean area, but has spread invasively to many parts of the world. Adult medflies lay their eggs under the skins of fruit, particularly where the skin is already broken. The eggs hatch within three days, and the larvae develop inside the fruit.
Garden in the country in Tallante, Cartagena (Spain).
Es ideal, por eso me lancé a buscar la identificación. Con los bichos feos no apetece tanto.
Pues estupendo ¡prime! La verdad es que es bonica, no te parece, Eulalia?
Si entras en Organisms y buscas en "search" salen todos los spottings. Yo he probado con el nombre científico y el común en español y en inglés y no me ha salido nada.
You're welcome.
Creo que no hay ninguna ceratitis ni mosca de la fruta en Noah. Es una primicia!!!
