LA's New Aerial Shower: Fruit Flies!
So, you've heard the news: Los Angeles is getting rained on. Not with water, mind you, but with fruit flies. Millions of them. Every week.

But fear not, dear reader, these aren’t your average, annoying kitchen squatters. These are special forces, tiny airborne commandos on a mission to save our fruits and veggies.

The Fruit Fly Force
You see, there's this pesky little critter called the Mediterranean fruit fly. It's an invasive species that loves to munch on our produce. And when we say "munch," we mean "destroy." They lay their eggs in fruits and veggies, and their larvae turn those delicious treats into worm-infested mush. It's a farmer's worst nightmare, and honestly, a consumer's too.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Enter the sterile male fruit fly. These are the good guys. They're bred in labs, zapped with radiation to make them infertile, and then dropped from planes like tiny parachutists. The idea is simple: overwhelm the female population with sterile mates so they can't produce offspring. It's like a biological vasectomy program for fruit flies.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
