• Nocturnal behavior of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis and the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae, was observed in and around a commercial papaya orchard in Moloa'a, Kaua'i, Hawai'i. A panax species, Polyscias guilfoylei, planted as a windbreak in 2 areas of Moloa'a, was found to be the major mating and roosting site for B. dorsalis while B. cucurbitae mated and roosted primarily in a hedgerow of wili wili, Erythrina tahitensis. Roosting sites for fruit fly parasitoids were not identified. Potential use of hedgerow windbreaks as traps for fruit fly control is discussed.
