In the small, larval stage, fruit flies are vulnerable to becoming victims of ant and beetle larvae. The spider is also a general predator of the fruit fly. These arachnids spin their webs as traps for fruit flies. Fruit fly larvae are a preferred prey of ants and staphylinid beetles. Invertebrate like carabid beetles, assassin bugs, robber flies, yellow jackets, wasps and probably others consume fruit flies when they are available. One of the very most common predators of fruit flies is the frog. Chickens and other fowl eat fruit fly larvae present on vegetables and overripe fruits and sometimes consume fly pupae found beneath trees. Other common larval and pupal fruit fly predators consist of predaceous wasps, mites and crickets. Hummingbirds are also frequent eaters of fruits that might have fruit fly larvae.
