The lifecycle of the SWD involves laying eggs on the fruit, where the larvae hatch and begin feeding on the fruit’s flesh. This can occur very quickly, with a full lifecycle completing in as little as 8-12 days. The presence of larvae is usually not visible until they are fully developed, making detection challenging for consumers and producers alike.
