It's quite pretty really, as their insects generally are. My neighbour says that if six of them are within 2km of each other, they can find each other to mate with. So lets hope there is not that number.

Coming home from overseas once, one of the passengers said something flew off his bag after he picked up his luggage, makes you wonder how many times that happens.

Our borders are far to lax. It won't be long and we will have big problems if they don't stop penny pinching and sort out this problem.

Good Government decisions again.; Another fruit fly found.
. and since there were larvae in someone's home garden fruit, it stands to reason that there will probably be more elsewhere. Let's hope they REALLY get on top of it right away. Given that it is harvest time, there's going to be an awful lot of money lost by orchardists.

The one good thing about this is that it's a built-up area without commercial orchards, but it's a real worry.
I'd hate it to be around my place with old overgrown fruit trees.

The National Government made this decision to reduce inspections to 'save MONEY' as previous Governments have done and lost. Will any grower/storekeeper etc. get compensation for their potential losses suffered directly from this Government action or non-action.?
