The apple maggot (Rhagoletis pomonella) is a small fly, typically about 1/4 inch long, with a distinctive appearance. It has a black body with white bands on its thorax and a characteristic grayish-white pattern on its abdomen. The adult flies have red eyes and clear wings, which may have a slight smoky appearance. The larvae, known for infesting apples, are small, creamy-white worms that can be found inside the fruit.
