        Oh! Yes, that didn't even occur to me about the name! The pattern is pretty spectacular with the blue spots and green blobby bits. I imagine it would be a good pattern to confuse predators. Posted 5 years ago

          Yes, I think this is probably a color and pattern strategy, like the zebras. The name may just be because someone was reminded of how the open fruit looks like. Who knows! :-) Posted 5 years ago
