Lonicera fly


 

The Lonicera fly is a new species of fruit fly that has developed within only 250 years from two other species, a process called hybridization. These findings were published in Nature by a research team lead by Dietmar Schwarz at Pennsylvania State University in 2005. Until then, hybridization has been known only in plants.
