This is not the type of fruit fly we get swarming around over-ripe fruit in our homes, those tiny little almost invisible creatures. This is a member of the Tephritidae family which contains some of the most beautiful of flies, with bold wing patterns and pretty colouring. Look at those striped eyes for example! I have been seeing quite a few of these around FWG lately, after not having seen any before. No doubt they were present and I just didn't notice them.
