Frambesid Spotted

Frambesidae belong to the family Drosophilidae - flour flies within the order Diptera. Most species are small, small in size, similar to solitary flies. Found in the Northern Hemisphere. The most important for agriculture are spring yaws (marked with a bluish color, speckled on the keel) and spotted yaws (marked with red, speckled at the base of the abdomen). They are the most common types. Eggs are laid in areas of rotten plants. Larvae hatch from them, develop for several weeks and gradually turn into adults. The maximum number of flies is observed in the second half of summer and autumn, reaching maximum numbers in summer, and begin to appear in April. An adult fly has already lived for two years. Flies are blood-sucking: they feed on plant saliva, but in rare cases they can harm pets and people by sucking blood. This leaves characteristic red spots at the site of the bite. Frahmbesides are characterized by the presence of special glands, the secretion of which is capable of softening plant tissue to facilitate the removal of larvae. Often the larvae live underground in decomposed forest litter, appearing on the surface only when conditions arise for continued development and nutrition, where they settle among the roots of plants, and especially under root crops. There they develop over 2-3 months, become pupae and overwinter in this state. The following year, in the spring, adult flies emerge from the pupae. When the air temperature reaches 8C, increased flight movement of flies occurs - chirping, which lasts about a month. The female lays eggs on fabric - leaves, st.
