Basic Information
Ceratitis rosa
Natal Fruit Fly, Natal fruit fly
Ceratitis rosa, the Natal fruit fly, is an African fruit fly species from the family Tephritidae. It is considered a pest in both its native and non-native habitats. It prefers subtropical or temperate climates and the fruits that are native to these areas. It is also capable of surviving in less dry climates compared to its relative Ceratitis capitata, which is more specific in its habitat preferences. Ceratitis rosa was first described by Karsch in 1887 in Delagoa Bay, Mozambique. Soon after, in 1900, the Natal fruit fly was a recognized as a pest of orchards and fruit farmers throughout KwaZulu Natal Province, Republic of South Africa.

Morphological Features
Body length 4.96 (4.25–5.30) mm; wing length 5.34 (4.50–5.75) mm. Head: antenna yellow; arista with short to moderately long rays, ventral rays shorter and sparser than dorsal rays. Frons yellow with scattered dark setulae. Thorax: scutellum yellowish white, basally with two separate dark spots, apically with three separate black spots extending to basal 0.33. Legs: mid-tibia moderately broadened, anteriorly black with silvery shine on distal 0.66–0.75, with black feathering dorsally along distal 0.75 and ventrally along distal 0.66. Wing: banding yellowish brown; interruption between marginal and discal bands near vein R1 clear and complete; cubital band free; medial band absent; crossvein R-M opposite middle of discal cell. Abdomen mostly yellow; tergites 2 and 4 with pale gray band on posterior half; tergite 5 with basal half brownish. Female oviscape shorter than preabdomen; aculeus at most six times longer than wide, tip with distinct apical indentation and lateral margin slightly sinuous.
