Webinar on the morphological identification of Bactrocera adults (Diptera: Tephritidae)
A training sessions (webinar) on the morphological identification of Bactrocera adult took place on the 2nd-3rd December 2025 on the Microsoft Teams platform. More than sixty entomologists from different NRLs attended the webinar and had the opportunity to observe adult specimens live under a digital stereomicroscope and to try to identify them in real-time using a simplified key in the form of a quiz.
