Grapefruit is one of the most common hosts for fruit flies such as A. suspensa, which lay their eggs in overripe or spoiled grapefruit. The larvae of these flies then eat the fruit for nourishment until they reach the pupal stage. This parasitism has resulted in millions of dollars in lost economic costs to countries in Central America and southern North America. Therefore, in commercially grown grapefruit, spraying pesticides has become an important means of disease control.
