A fly that is an agricultural pest is what the sorghum midge is.

Specifically, the sorghum midge (Contarinia sorghicola) constitutes an orange-colored member of the true fly order Diptera. Its larva hatches colorlessly from white eggs which are deposited on grain sorghum and Johnson grass. The larva and the pupa will be recognized in part by their orange color and by the insect's voracious appetite in the larval stage.
