Daylight Period

Locomotion and grooming in immature adult Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) occurred throughout the daylight period. Feeding seemed to be slightly higher in mated than in unmated flies. Ovipositing females showed territoriality and only mated females laid eggs. Males started to display courtship behavior at 5 days old, reaching the complete sexual maturation at day 10. About 54% of the virgin mature females copulated on the day they were paired with virgin males of the same age. Female A. fraterculus seemed to require more than 30 min of mating to supply all spermathecae with sperm, and the efficiency of sperm transference after first mating was 100%.

The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Tephritidae), is a leading pest of Brazilian fruit crops. This study evaluated how prior experience with artificial fruits containing peach and/or guabiroba pulp influenced the ovipositing behavior of A. fraterculus. Insects 15-21 days old were exposed to four treatments: 1) experience with guabiroba, Campomanesia xanthocarpa O. Berg (Myrtaceae); 2) experience with peach, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (Chimarrita cultivar; Rosaceae); 3) experience with both fruits; and 4) no experience (naive). Naive females and females experienced with guabiroba pulp and with both fruits (peach and guabiroba) oviposited and showed dragging and puncturing behavior on substrates containing guabiroba, but females that were only exposed to peach pulp did not show a preference for any substrate. The study shows that prior experience with substrate influences ovipositing behavior in A. fraterculus.
