fruit flies?
Hi,
This is my first year in college. I've been buying a lot of fruit as it is relatively inexpensive, delicious, healthy, and takes no preparation time. I've also noticed some gnat-like insects buzzing around my fruit, for the firs time ever (never saw them at home). I've never seen them before. But, only around my fruit, and I do recall having read about fruit flies as food for baby pet tarantulas and the like, available in wingless form at petsmart, so making the connection I dare to call these pesky gnats fruit flies. Are they only found around overripe/rotting fruit? If I eat my fruit fast enough, I won't see them...? Or vice versa, do these flies themselves cause fruit to go overripe and/or rotten? Which comes first, the chicken or the egg (overripe fruit or the flies)? Are they an issue to be concerned about? thanks for your advice! -Bernard Arnest |
