Upper and side views of maggot of the cherry fly. enlarged Natural size and much Appearance of the insects.—There are two kinds of flies that lay their eggs in cherries in New York State and cause maggots in the fniit. Both of them are much alike in appearance. They are smaller than the house fly, and their wings are crossed with dark bands.
