Basic Information
Bactrocera tryoni
Queensland fruit fly, Fruchtfliege Queensland, Queensland Fruit Fly
Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is a species of fly in the family Tephritidae in the insect order Diptera. B. tryoni is native to subtropical coastal Queensland and northern New South Wales. They are active during the day, but mate at night. B. tryoni lay their eggs in fruit. The larvae then hatch and proceed to consume the fruit, causing the fruit to decay and drop prematurely. B. tryoni are responsible for an estimated $28.5 million a year in damage to Australian crops and are the most costly horticultural pest in Australia. Up to 100% of exposed fruit can be destroyed due to an infestation of this fly species. Previously, pesticides were used to eliminate B. tryoni from damaging crops. However, these chemicals are now banned. Thus, experts devoted to B. tryoni control have transitioned to studying this pests' behaviors to determine a new method of elimination.

Morphological Features
Medium sized species (5–8 mm). Head with medium sized black facial spots. Thorax: postpronotal lobes (humeral calli) and notopleura yellow; scutum red-brown with fuscous markings; mesopleural stripe reaching midway between anterior margin of notopleuron and anterior notopleural seta; lateral postsutural vittae present, medial postsutural vitta absent; scutellum yellow. Wing with narrow fuscous costal band and broad fuscous anal streak; cells bc and c fuscous; microtrichia covering cell c and outer half of cell bc. Abdomen: terga III–V generally red-brown with a medial and two broad lateral longitudinal fuscous bands over all three terga, joined along anterior margin of tergum III; paler forms often present. Female with apex of aculeus needle-shaped.
