Fruit Flys where do the come from?

Question

Where do they come from ? and why are they not in the stores?

Answer 1

Up until about the 18th century, people believed in a phenomenon called spontaneous generation. The idea of spontaneous generation was that all kinds of creatures, including mice and various insects such as fruitfruitfruit flies, were spontaneously spawned from inorganic matter. Dirty underwear, rotting meat, and other foul materials where thought to mysteriously produce these animals.

When it comes to fruitfruitfruit flies in our homes, the idea of spontaneous generation seems to be in play. FruitFruitFruit flies seem to magically appear around fruitfruitfruit and other foods quickly and without fail in an otherwise insect-free kitchen. Of course, modern science has proven that spontaneous generation is impossible, so the question remains; where do fruitfruitfruit flies come from?

FruitFruitFruit flies are tiny winged insects that boast a meager length of 0.2 inches (3mm). They are brownish in color, with striped bodies and relatively large red eyes. They are perfectly adept in smelling food from great distances. With their great sense of smell and tiny bodies, fruitfruitfruit flies can maneuver into your kitchen through window screens, door jams, or any other crack in your home. Occasionally, they may catch a ride in your grocery bags or hatch from eggs laid in less than fresh food brought home from a grocery store.

A congregation of fruitfruitfruit flies can become a nuisance. FruitFruitFruit flies feed on alcohol, which is produced when fruits and vegetables begin to ferment. The alcohol in wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages is also appealing to fruitfruitfruit flies. FruitFruitFruit flies not only feed on these foods, but also lay eggs in them that hatch into larvae in a matter of hours. In almost the blink of an eye, fruitfruitfruit flies can infest any kitchen.

Removing the food source is the first step to eliminating fruitfruitfruit flies. Some non-food items, such as wet mops, dirty dishes, and old sponges, are able to support fruitfruitfruit flies, so be sure to clear these from your home as well. The remaining fruitfruitfruit flies can easily be trapped by constructing a paper funnel and placing it in a jar or bottle containing a small amount of wine, beer, or decaying fruitfruitfruit. The fruitfruitfruit flies will enter the funnel to reach their feast and will not be able to find their way out.

Although fruitfruitfruit flies are a pesky nuisance to most people, these tiny insects have made a gigantic name for themselves in the field of science. FruitFruitFruit flies, or Drosophilae, have been invaluable to the field of genetics. The short, ten-day life cycle of the fruitfruitfruit fly, its avid ability to reproduce, and its large chromosomes make the insect an ideal specimen for laboratory experiments in heredity.

FruitFruitFruit flies have also been a source of fuel for the creation vs. evolution debate. Creationists, who oppose the generally accepted theory of evolution, claim that the use of fruitfruitfruit flies in the laboratory, specifically the attempt to create new species of fruitfruitfruit flies through the mutation of chromosomes, has yielded no surviving results. Evolutionists rebuke the claim with the fact that fruitfruitfruit flies have too few chromosomes to provide an evolutionary advantage when manipulated. Basically, evolutionists hold that fruitfruitfruit flies are successful just as they are and have no reason to change.

Answer 2

They would be in the grocery stores, but the stores use sprays to control them. They add some chemicals to the mist water they use that is totally non toxic to us, but is to the fruit fly.

This is another reason why we should wash all fruits and veggies we bring home before putting them in the display basket in the middle of the table. Soap and water will take any fruit fly eggs on off down the drain. Then we won't have them hatching out in our houses.

they are in the stores, that is probably where you got them. they live in the drains of your sinks after they move into your home. you can put 1/2 cup bleach in your drains at night and that should kill them off
