Fruit flies - Drosophila melanogaster. One of the most significant animals in biological studies into genetic inheritance as they are small, mutable and breed quickly, making them ideal subjects for research.

Bananas and other fruits start to ferment as they get overripe (start turning brown) and the sugars are converted to alcohol. Fermenting fruit is the diet of the fruit fly (Drosophila) and it is the alcohols released from the fermenting fruit that attract them.

those flies don't come from outside!
they are on the suface or beneath the skin of the fruit, in eggs. yeah, it's impossible to see them, but they're there. they can be on peaches too. if you find the idea worrying, then peel the fruit. you won't find them around anymore.

They hitch a ride to your kitchen, via eggs, on the produce you bring home
from the store. Wash it all off right after you get home.
