Report Of An Expedition To Africa In Search Of The Natural Enemies Of Fruit Flies (trypaneidae)

Published in 1913, this fascinating chronicle recounts the expedition of Italian entomologist Filippo Silvestri to East Africa in search of the natural predators of the fruit fly. The fruit fly, which poses a major threat to fruit crops, was then a newly discovered species, and Silvestri's expedition was one of the first attempts to understand its life cycle and ecology. His meticulous observations and careful descriptions of the flies and other insects he encountered provide valuable insights into the world of entomology.
