''Ormia depleta'', sometimes called the Brazilian red-eyed fly, is a species of fly in the family Tachinidae. It is a parasitoid of mole crickets in the genus ''Scapteriscus''. It is native to South America but has been imported into the United States and elsewhere as a biological pest control agent. ==Biology== ''Ormia depleta'' has four stages in its life cycle, egg, larva, pupa and adult. The adult female is attracted by the song of either the tawny mole cricket (''Scapteriscus vicinus'') or the southern mole cricket (''Scapteriscus borellii''). The repeated chirps are emitted by the male crickets to attract females to breed, and the song also lures the female fly. Her eggs hatch inside her abdomen and she deposits a larva on any mole cricket with which she comes in contact. The fly larva feeds on the mole cricket and eventually kills it, then the fly larva emerges from the carcass and makes its way into the soil where it pupates. The adult fly emerges from the pupa about eleven days later. It feeds on the honeydew secreted by insects such as aphids.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mole cricket tutorial )〕
