​

Tricia, a community support officer with the Greater Sunraysia Fruit Fly Group is here to teach you a little bit about a flying insect called Queensland Fruit Fly.

There are lots of good insects that we find in our backyards – but Queensland fruit fly is a pest for our fruit growers and our fruit growing areas. So we’re going to have a closer look at fruit fly and why it’s especially a problem for us here in the Greater Sunraysia area.

Watch this short video to learn more about the fly, and what we can all do to help with the problem. After you have finished watching the video download the children's activity booklet and the information sheet on how to make a trap. If you would like a community support officer to visit your school, kinder or childcare to talk more about fruit fly have a parent or teacher contact us on
