In late summer 2008, a fruit fly (Diptera: Drosophilidae) from a berry field in Santa Cruz County, California, United States of America, was identified as Drosophila Fallén species (Bolda et al. 2010; Hauser et al. 2009; Hauser 2011). Fruit flies were not unusual in late summer fruit fields, and it was thought this was a common species that infested rotting fruit. It was not, but its significance was not appreciated at the time. In 2009, heavy infestations of maggots in otherwise healthy cherries (Prunus Linnaeus; Rosaceae) in California were identified as the invasive species, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), the spotted-wing drosophila (Hauser 2011). This was the first detection of D. suzukii in continental North America. It was originally described from Japan (Kanzawa 1939), and its native habitat is Asia (Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International 2020), including India, the Korean Peninsula, and Thailand (Hauser et al. 2009). Since 2008, D. suzukii has emerged as a serious pest in both Europe and North America, where it is now widespread and abundant (Walsh et al. 2011; Cini et al. 2012). In North America, it spread rapidly, presumably via human-assisted transport of fresh fruits, and is established throughout most fruit producing areas. It was first detected in Canada in 2009 in British Columbia, specifically in cherries in the Okanagan Valley, and in berries and grapes in the
