Fruit fly

Ripe fruit is an ideal place for this animal. After conception, but the female will lay eggs on the fruit, the eggs will hatch into maggots from the inside and eat fruit to grow in the transition phase of maggots. It is this phenomenon that causes huge losses in the fruit industry.

Scientists compare the behavior of male flies with the visual stimulation of men when they see certain images. Previously it was thought that in female flies, the ability to activate receptors is due to the effect of male pheromon secreted, like in many other animals.

The fruit flies' stimulants are not only seen clearly in the berries but also have a pleasant smell that can be smelled. And the female flies after being sexually stimulated, fly themselves to find male flies to 'devote themselves'.

From the findings, chemists have analyzed the male fly's sexually stimulating formula and synthesized it in the laboratory. They created the traps, by mixing it with pesticides. Female flies are excited, "drunk" and come to their own to get infected and die.
