The mango fruit fly is a small insect known for infesting mangoes and other tropical fruits. It belongs to the family Tephritidae and is recognized by its distinctive yellow and black markings. The female lays eggs inside the fruit, and the larvae feed on the flesh, causing significant damage and reducing fruit quality. This pest is primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions, where it can lead to economic losses for farmers. Effective management strategies include monitoring traps, removing infested fruits, and using biological control methods to reduce their population and protect crops.
