cherry fruit fly
rhagoletis cerasi latin

The cherry fruit fly is significantly larger than D. suzukii (up to 5 mm) and has a pattern of dark bands on its wings instead of the telltale spot of D. suzukii.

Inorganic cuticular constituents are rare but calcareous nodules may develop on the outside of Stratiomyid and Psychodid larvae while Rhagoletis cerasi larvae show intra-cuticular calcification (Wiesmann, 1938).
