There are maggots in cherries, just like moths in corn and peaches. They are pests, because fruit farmers have not taken appropriate control measures or when there is more rainfall, the amount is large. Cherry fruit fly is called Suzuki fruit fly, which is different from the fruit fly that decays in the later stage, that is, the fruit fly produced in the mature stage.

It seems that there are maggots in fresh cherries, which is due to the habit of fruit fly Suzuki to choose spawning sites. Because cherry Drosophila overwinters in the weeds on the ground, it is the best time to choose the fruit that is about to mature when laying eggs. For the sake of future generations, it will not be produced in the fruit that is about to rot, but will choose the mature one.

Preventive measures of cherry insects

The probability of bugs is not high. You can meet bugs after eating hundreds. Moreover, the eggs and larvae of Drosophila melanogaster in cherry fruit are harmless to people and animals, and are not contagious and parasitic, not to mention worrying that chewed insects will multiply and grow in the stomach.

Harmless insects that can't even be seen, and the risk of pesticide residues that may be harmful due to improper use, naturally choose the former. Cherry is a fruit with little pesticide. If consumers are so picky and afraid of fruit flies, fruit farmers have to use pesticides to prevent them.
