A male spotted wing fruit fly approaches a fresh strawberry. An introduced pest species in North America, the spotted wing fruit fly (Drosophila suzukii) feeds and breeds on fresh berries such as rasberries, strawberries and cherries – unlike most fruit flies that infest decaying and rotting fruit. Drosophila suzukii however is a substantial pest for berry farmers. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com
