Thread subject: Diptera.info :: New Drosophila at my banana bait: D. suzukii? (03.10.14) --> confirmed

Hello,

normally I mainly find Drosophila cf. histrio, D. immigrans and D. obscura group on the plashy bananas deposited in our garden (northwest Germany). Yesterday I only took some routine photos, but on them I detected some animals with round dark spots on their wings. I remembered to have seen such flies in the gallery. Are these spots non-ambiguous for the males of Drosophila suzukii in Europe? Then I know, why we earned nearly no cherries this year...

Drosophila immigrans or female of D. suzukii?

Mostly flies without spots on the fruits.

The indicated males are suzukii and I would say that the second image is indeed immigrans.
