These insect species are still classified in the fly species insect order. But it is not a general fly that always plays in dirty locations or in any location that is unclean.
As information that needs to be conveyed that in Indonesia itself has 66 species of fruit flies that breed in every plant and bush or in any location that has food either sourced from the plant itself or even food scraps that are automatically located in the region.
In 2017, precisely in one region in Indonesia or the island of Java, almost every species of this fruit fly attacked 100 fruit plants that are being cultivated by farmers.
