Me: "going for fruit diet" KZread recommendations:

It's interesting, I have a patch of raspberries in my yard that has been producing large amounts of berries for nearly 10 years now (like, 6+ cups of berries every two days for two weeks at peak production). Only one year have we had a spotted fruit fly problem that was so bad we had to throw out all the berries. There's always a few larva here and there (we dub this an 'acceptable number of insect parts'), but we've never introduced an additional specialist parasite. What we have done is cultivate a lush native plant garden that attracts all sorts of native predators; wasps, spiders, even hummingbirds will eat small flies. We never use any sort of pesticide (most also kill the predator/pollinator insects!). Of course, it's different for a farm with rows and rows of berries, but I have to wonder if hedgerows of native habitat could reduce pesticide use even more.

Each parasitic wasp species generally has a single target. Agriculture is what kills most insects. Mainly due to habitat loss. Mono cultures make it so that the insects lose their food sources, many insects are very specialized. And those who can eat what we grow, we kill with insecticides and while doing so kill everything else that is still around.

@Bunny-ns5ni

For the last few decades, invasive species have become a serious problem, especially insects. If invasive pests infest our produce, scientists will often use biological control, primarily predators from the pests native ecosystem. This process has become more refined over the years, as lots of testing with various species are required to find the best fit for the role. These tests can take many years to reach a result. That's why the narrator stated that the parasitic wasp primarily attacks it's native prey, along with other fruit flies occasionally. It's not perfect, but it's most likely the closest we'll get to it. The best thing we can do, is prevent invasive species from becoming established in the first place.

The wasps aren't entering it during the fruit stage, and even though it's an accessory fruit (just a piece of modified flower tissue), it still goes through a lot of changes from flower to fruit, this gives plenty of time for the wasp body to be broken down into base components. So it's less like eating a wasp carcass and more like eating a fruit that is partially composed of wasp.

“It ruins blue berries” “Yeah i have flys in my tummy”

Ha! I once picked some delicious mulberries off a tree I found in the woods. After eating quite a few, I realized the mulberries were infested with some type of tiny, tiny bugs. I didn’t get sick.

Thank you for ruining fruit for me XD jk!! Love the videos as always
