The apple maggot, scientifically known as Rhagoletis pomonella, begins its life as an egg laid by an adult female fly on an apple or other fruit. Once the egg hatches, the larva burrows into the fruit, feeding on the flesh as it grows. After several weeks, the larva pupates, typically within the fruit or in the soil, eventually emerging as an adult fly. This life cycle allows the apple maggot to adapt and thrive in its host environment, often leading to co-evolution with fruiting plants.

How did apple maggot flies evolve?
Apple maggot flies evolved when the ancestor began laying eggs on hawthornes. After apples were introduced to America, the flies started laying eggs on both apples and hawthornes.
Can you propose a biologically reasonable scenario that explains how apple maggot flies evolved?
Apple maggot flies originally were living only on hawthornes. When apples were introduced, some flies started reproducing on apples and so the apple maggot fly evolved.

they belong to giants
Does a maggot undergo complete or incomplete metamorphosis?
Complete. Egg, larva (maggot), pupa, and adult.

What species concept should be used in the apple maggot fly case?
In the case of the apple maggot flies, it is an example of sympatric speciation. Two different populations occur in different niches where there is no gene flow between the two.

What bugs live in apples?
Several types of bugs can inhabit apples, including the apple maggot, codling moth, and aphids. The apple maggot lays its eggs on the fruit, leading to larvae that burrow inside, while the codling moth larvae also feed on the apple flesh. Additionally, aphids may infest apple trees, sucking sap and potentially transmitting plant diseases. These pests can significantly impact apple quality and yield if not managed properly.
