About Drosophila busckii Coquillett, 1901
Drosophila busckii is a species of fruit fly originally native to North America. It can now also be found in Asia, Europe, Oceania, and South America. This species can be identified by its distinct physical features: it has dark stripes on the thorax, including a trident-shaped marking on the mesonotum, and its wings are transparent with no markings. In the wild, Drosophila busckii is most commonly associated with rotten potatoes. In laboratory settings, this species is typically reared on Wheeler-Clayton food.
