How does fruit produce fruit flies?

Answer 1

Hey Hais,

I read with some laughter the answers regarding fruit/eggs and fruit flies.

Rarely do you get fruit flies because of fruit. Flies are Flies. Adult flies will lay their eggs in or near rotting fruit because the adult realizes that this is a good source of food for larvae. Same thing for garbage cans. Small (Baby or Fruit) flies will hang around rotting fruit and rotting garbage because the material is already decomposing and easily digested (mostly its the sugar that they are able to extract - hence the term "fruit flies")

In the US, we rarely get a "Fruit Fly". The last time we had an infestation of Fruit Flies, it was during the 1980's in California. They had an infestation of Mediterranean Fruit flies that could have wiped out the Fruit harvest for decades.

What you are seeing is nothing more than baby common house flies.

Hope that this helped!

Answer 2

Fruit doesnt produce fruit flies. Fruit flies implant the eggs into the fruit after mating and the eggs hatch...voila! u have fruit fly coming out of the fruit.

Answer 3

Fruit does not produce fruit flies. Fruit flies have to lay their eggs on fruit in order for larvae to develop. You may not have fruit flies in your home that can lay them in the fruit, but the flies had an opportunity to lay eggs when the fruit was growing in the field.

Answer 4

Fruit does not "produce" fruit flies. Fruit flies are attracted to fruit.

Answer 5

First of all you "Rednecks Rule" guy, you are so racist and you will burn in hell for your own stupidty of putting that comment on here and may Satan have mercy on you.

I will tell you the deal with the fruit flies. As you probably have found out, fruit flies do not come from the fruit. They come in on the fruit. I had a horrible problem with them when I moved out to Texas. I bought a bunch of bananas to make banana splits and saw one fly and after that, there were hundreds! I did everthing to get rid of them! Poured boiling water down all the drains, bleached the drains and put stoppers in them, nothing worked. I put of those fly traps that are sticky that you hang from the ceiling and they were covered from top to bottom all from that banana. They are just attracted to the minerals and nutrients found in fruits, especially peels. They beasts to get rid of once they get in your house. That's pretty much how they come in, on fruit you bring home and into your house.
