Mediterranean fruit fly, or "medfly" (Ceratitis capitata) from http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/graphics/photos/jun00/k8897-1.htm

Image Number K8897-1

The production of medflies can be realized in the laboratory by bathing medfly eggs in warm water - a process that kills the female embryos but doesn't harm the male embryos. In the pupal stage, the males can be irradiated to render them sexually sterile. Photo by Scott Bauer.
