The search for discovering plant species and isolating their active components with insecticidal properties against insects plagues, such as fruit flies, are receiving considerable attention worldwide, as they generate minimal environmental and living impacts compared to use of chemical insecticides. Thus, this study aimed to establish Lethality of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) submitted to different plant extracts. Hydroethanolic extracts (S. terebinthifolia, M. officinalis, S. aromaticus, P. guajava, P. amboinicus, M. villosa, C. sinensis, A. heterophyllus M. citrifolia e E. uniflora) were prepared with 30% w / v fresh leaves (plant weight / 70% ethanol volume). The insecticidal evaluation of the hydroethan...
