Welcome to the fruit fly, those annoying bugs that measure about 1/8 of an inch in length and that includes their wings. The fruit flies comprise ofseveral different species belonging to the genusDrosophila.Fruit flies are also known as pomace flies or vinegar flies and annoyances.These flies are found throughout the world in homes, food processing plants, warehouses, grocery stores, wineries, restaurants and other structures. The way to identify the fruit fly is its eyes, which are red in color with the rest of the body and thorax being tan, and the abdomen is darker in color. This fly is usually confused with the Phorid fly, which is similar in its colors except for that beady red eye. Without a good magnifying glass, fruit flies would merely fall into the category ofsmall flies. |
