Description:
This picture was taken on 10/17/12.This Fruit Fly was found in a house at 32.829206,-117.168506. I notice that it was very attracted to the scent of apples in the room. I also noticed that the fruit flies would only come out during the night time when there wasn't a lot of people around. So I devised an experiment with apple juice and soap mixed together. The fly was attracted to the sent of apples, and they were caught in the soap. I was able to take a picture of this fly after it died in the soap. This observation is part of the High Tech High Insects of San Diego Field Guide.
