Chengdu All Search News Network (reporter Guo Ying) reported on June 29 that recently, the Chengdu Airport Inspection and Quarantine Bureau intercepted a group of cucumbers carried by passengers from flights from Hong Kong to Chengdu, China, and found live insects at the scene. According to the cultivation and identification of the port laboratory of Sichuan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and the technical center of Sichuan Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the insect is a melon fruit fly, which is a quarantine pest. This is the first time that sichuan has intercepted such pests. At present, the batch of fruits has been quarantined and treated to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
It is understood that the melon fly belongs to the order Diptera, an insect of the family Fruit Fly, which mainly harms more than 80 kinds of fruits and vegetables such as cucurbitaceae and legumes. Female adults can use the egg layer to puncture the skin of the host fruit to lay eggs, after the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the inside of the fruit, the larvae go out of the fruit after maturity and enter the soil pupa, and the adults feather out in the soil. Because crop fruits are harmed by larvae, the fruit loses its commercial value and seriously affects the foreign trade of fruits and vegetables. The guarwafly is mainly transmitted by eggs and larvae with the host transport, and the adults have a certain ability to fly and spread.
