## Resource

San Diego County just expanded its quarantine to 76 square miles, including El Cajon and Lemon Grove, after detecting a deadly Mexican fruit fly — a pest that can destroy citrus and mangoes by laying eggs inside fruit. Residents are warned not to move homegrown produce, while authorities deploy sterile male flies and Spinosad insecticide to curb the outbreak. The invasive species, first spotted in Mexico in 1863, often sneaks into California via illegally imported produce — making this a high-stakes battle for California’s agriculture.
