 caused by the larvae of the Mediterranean fruit flies. 



Fig. 14. Dried and shriveled strawberry guava still adhering to a twig after all 

 of the Mediterranean fruit fly larvse have bored out. The infested fruit, however, 

 usually drops to the ground before the maggots bore out.

 able to withdraw its ovipositor from the sticky, milky juice of this fruit.

 which the fruit fly larv'ae and decayed pulp dropped out. After the Mediterranean
