PEAR MIDGE AND LARVA
Diplosis pyrivora
This small fly, which belongs to the family Cecidomyiadae, causes very great loss by its maggots
destroying the young pears. Although it has been known for many years it has increased enormously of
late, and in some parts of Britain the greater part of the crop is destroyed by it.
The damage is done by the small white maggots feeding inside the young pears. The infested fruitlets are
very marked, they become abnormally swollen and deformed and make rapid growth compared with
sound fruitlets. The infested fruitlets (known as "bottlers" in the trade) are found to be black inside when
cut open and to contain as many as fifty maggots, which when mature reach 1/7 in. long.
