The presence and the abundance of the population of the drosophilid flies were surveyed with apple cider vinegar traps, fruit baited traps, and fruit collection. <em>Chymomyza amoena, Z. tuberculatus</em> and <em>D. suzukii</em> have been identified in the Apple Cider Vinegar traps in both years. Only <em>D. suzukii</em> and <em>Z. tuberculatus</em> emerged from fruit baited traps. Except for <em>D. suzukii,</em> no other exotic drosofilid was captured from the fruit collection.<em> Z. indianus</em> was never observed. Analyses of the presence of the different species, seasonal occurrence and sex ratio are provided.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research}, author={Amiresmaeili, N. and Jucker, C. and Savoldelli, S. and Lupi, D.}, year={2019}, month={Mar.} }
