In the 69th Annual Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario (1938), pages 56 and 57, the writer compares the Rhagoletis reared from dogwood (Cornus Amomum Mill.) with the morphologically similar apple maggot from apple and hawthorn.

The larvæ of this Noctuid moth were again found at Ottawa the past season, in beds of Irises, on the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm. They were not, however, at all numerous, and did not do any appreciable harm this years. Two larvæ were collected on July 28, one of which was inflated; the other pupated on Aug. 1, the moth emerging on Sept. 7. Another larva was found on Aug. 4, the moth appearing on Sept. 15. The pupa of the former specimen was much larger than any of those obtained in 1903, an account of which appeared in the last Annual Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario. This pupa measured 30 mm. in length and 7.5 in width.

AbstractAdult apple maggots, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), were relatively free from attacks by predators in southern Ontario. The main reason for this was the flies’ alert avoidance of approaching objects. In addition to this protection from predators, the flies appeared to be avoided by hunting spiders. Adults of the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cinqulata (Loew), were equally alert and apparently free from predation while they were in apple trees.

An interesting contribution by Dr. FJetclrer, entitled “Entomological Record, 1901,” has just appeared in the 32nd Annual Report of the Entomological Society of Ontario. This, besides giving a list of the active workers in Canada, includes careful notes on rarities, etc., taken during the year. It is the intention of the Society to continue this Record from yeart to year, and as this will undoubtedly prove useful to entomologists throughout Canada, it is hoped that collectors in the dominion will try to make it as complete as possible. Records of interesting specimens captured, either from the standpoint of distribution or rarity, will be acceptable, and should be sent to Dr. James Fletcher, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Specimens unknown to collectors will gladly be identified.

Larvae of two closely related species of fruit flies in central and eastern North America -- Rhagoletis cingulata (Loew), commonly called the cherry fruit fly or cherry maggot, and Rhagoletis fausta (Osten Sacken), the black cherry fruit fly -- attack cherry and cause wormy fruits. Only R. cingulata occurs in Florida, where it attacks wild cherries and is of little economic importance. These two species closely resemble a third pest species, the apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh); the adults of all three have banded wings. R. cingulata breeds in all varieties of cherries including the sweet cherry. This document is EENY-203 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 116), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
