Identifying Fruit Fly
Fruit flies are tiny flies that are commonly seen around ripe or decaying fruits and vegetables. They are attracted to fermenting organic material and are frequent invaders of kitchens and restaurants. Fruit flies reproduce rapidly, with females laying hundreds of eggs near food sources. Their larvae develop in moist, fermenting matter, and adults can emerge in under a week. While they are primarily a nuisance, fruit flies can potentially spread contaminants picked up from unsanitary surfaces. Prevention includes promptly disposing of overripe produce and maintaining clean food preparation areas.
