Fruit flies were collected using aerial net and bottle traps containing an attractant (Methyl Eugenol (ME) and Cue-lure (CUE)) at Lanap Trail, Rafflesia Trail and base camp. A total of 77 fruit flies belonging to Bactrocera were collected. This includes six species and three morphospecies, of which Bactrocera tau was the dominant species (56 individuals).
