Adult(s) |
A female medfly pumps eggs through her ovipositor into the soft outer layers of a ripe coffee berry. |

Adult(s) |
The production of medflies can be realized in the laboratory by bathing medfly eggs in warm water a process that kills the female embryos but doesn't harm the male embryos. In the pupal stage, the males canbe irradiated to render them sexually sterile. |

The improved version of the McPhail trap uses a combination of three chemicals to attract male and female fruit flies. The older version of the trap used a protein bait that captured large numbers of nontarget insects. |

Adult(s) |
ARS scientists in Hilo, Hawaii are collaborating with ARS researchers at Weslaco, Texas, to investigate phloxine B, better known as the FDA-approved red dye number 28. The dye, might prove a safe, effective alternative to today's malathion insecticide. Medflies often share regurgitated food. This helps spread the insecticidal dye-and-bait blend through the population. |
