Determining sex can be done by looking at

external genitalia, sex combs, abdominal color, and abdominal shape.

Physical characteristics of male and female fruit fly- abdomen

Female have plump with a pointed posterior tip. Males are narrower than the female and lacks the pointed posterior tip.

Physical characteristics of male and female fruit fly- Abdomen color

Females have seven distinct bands on the dorsal (upper) side. No bands on the ventral side. Males have three distinct bands on the anterior end of the abdomen. Bands at the posterior end are fused giving the entire abdomen a darker appearance. Bands exten

Physical characteristics of male and female fruit fly- Genitalia- located on the ventral side of the abdomen at the tip

Females the area is lightly pigmented and lacks bristles. Males the area is heavily pigmented and has bristles.

Females tend to larger, and males tend to be smaller.

Males have a unique physical appendage that females do not-

sex combs, small dense tuft of black bristles located on the first tarsal segment of each foreleg.
