Target and non-target Rhagoletis Loew, 1862 (Diptera: Tephritidae) flies trapped in surveys can provide new information on fly abundances, ecologies, and distributions. Here, data from surveys for native R. indifferens Curran, 1932 in non-commercial sweet cherry trees and non-native R. pomonella (Walsh, 1867) in non-commercial apple, crabapple, and hawthorn trees in central Washington State, U.S.A. were used to determine relative abundances of target and non-target Rhagoletis on traps and to test the hypotheses that fly abundances are site, tree type, and seasonal period dependent. Rhagoletis indifferens was the most abundant Rhagoletis in cherry trees. Non-native R. completa Cresson, 1929 was the most abundant Rhagoletis caught in R. pomonella host trees, with overall results suggesting it is the most numerous and/or dispersive Rhagoletis in central Washington. With support from the literature, we infer that: R. pomonella is less tolerant of arid central Washington summers than R. completa, native R. zephyria Snow, 1894, R. indifferens, and native R. basiola (Osten Sacken, 1877); Rhagoletis species diversity is lower in suburban than rural habitats due to the predominant host plants present; all fly species disperse annually at similar relative abundances, resulting in geographic range expansions over a few generations; and peak seasonal dispersal of flies to non-natal tree species coincides with natal host fruit development, resulting in colonization of new fruiting host patches. Differential fly tolerances of arid summer climates due to adaptation or preadaptation, habitat type, and annual and seasonal dispersal patterns could explain abundances and distributions of native and non-native Rhagoletis species in central Washington.
