European cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) is the most serious pest of cherries in Europe. Conventional control has been based on broad spectrum insecticides that are toxic to humans, non-target organisms, and the environment. There is an urgent need to establish alternatives. To do so, many individuals are needed for experiments and rearing methods must be developed.
