Where Do Fruit Flies Come From, And Are You Eating Them? | The Curiosity Desk

[@sweetaddiction5012]

Sometimes I really need to believe that “ignorance is bliss”

[@VeVeVerse]

Okay so they come into the house and land on ripened bananas, I was hoping to get this question answered... they lay eggs on the skin of the banana, or do they borrow down to the actual fruit and lay eggs there?

[@AnaPaula-nh6hb]

The are also inside the banana as a larvae

I feel you

Listen guys. You passed the first test of being a contestant on the Survivor series or Fear Factor. This is only the beginning.

[@cmoulden78]

From outside or when you buy fruit from the store it can be carrying eggs.

[@philwatmough2537]

Great stuff, keep it up!

[@jerkmansgrillproductions8923]

I think the larve is in the Banana from the Grocery store because my Semi Truck is always locked with windows up but they suddenly appear when the Bananas get ripe.

More like they lay there eggs onto the fruit that y it’s good to wash your fruit after u get it home.

[@chenzenzo]

Thank you for giving me the benifit of the doubt. I don't care about eating them, but I don't want them hanging out all day here. I already got my own bioself stuff walking around.

Helps to wash all fruits?

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

It won't prevent fruit flies, but yes wash your fruit. Learn the best way to!

[@TheHailstorm77]

@@TheKatarinaGiselle washing your fruit is like using toilet paper 🧻 wiping your butt from a diarrhea. You have to really wash your butt and your butthole to be fully clean. So no! The larvae 🐛 is inside the fruit silly. Just enjoy Fear Factor or Survivor Series.

[@del5.0]

Great video, so interesting... I'm going to say that you consumed 6 larva when you ate the banana at the end of the video, lol. Yummy. Thanks for a great video.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

This literally DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! (Where tf they come from!!!)

[@faribad]

I was looking for this comment. He didn't answer the question that where do fruit flies come from. I clicked on this video to get that answer which is not mentioned in this video.

[@CuriousCat777]

Exactly!! And I wanted microscopic evidence how they lay n hatch their eggs!! I read somewhere that the fruit we buy is already carrying the egg… it’s part of life. Bugs n germs are everywhere and we’re part of that ecosystem!

[@MMAKLIPS]

Thanks for letting us know

[@critikasalihmeylani]

They answer it, you haven't watched the video or paid attention, or just trolling. They come from outside and breed in your fruits if you leave them in an open space.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

@@critikasalihmeylanido you ever see fruit flies outside? How do they get in?

I'd really love to know more about situs inversus totalis(sp?). I really can't find any videos on it that give it more than a cursory mention.

[@rebelsoldier2391]

Is that what the little black dots inside bananas are? Fruit fly eggs? Because aren't bannanas engineered to be seedless?

[@digger105337]

When they say " Seedless" the seeds are so under developed, they're small and soft. Seedless isn't quite Seedless.

So, the saying: You'll get more flies with Sugar than Vinegar is not correct if you're after the Fruit fly.🤔

[@Soulkal1979]

And that is why I don't kill spiders.. the natural fruit fly killer

[@TheHailstorm77]

Sorry to say dude, spiders aren’t as fast as fruit flies. That’s why 9/10 spiders really cant trap flies unless they land on their web.

[@BIGGZ_SHAN]

I saw my boiled egg on the counter and then I see fruit flies caming out of the cracked hard boiled chicken egg, do fruit flies eat hard boiled egg or was the big female going to lay eggs from the few little males?

[@digger105337]

They'll try to lay anywhere it smells possible.

@@digger105337 ok kl thanks for the reply● 0000o

Yeah so if you accidentally sharded in your pants and you didn’t clean well, the females will even lay eggs in your hole and you wouldn’t know it.

[@RowenMyBoat]

I bought two rotisserie chickens yesterday, pulled off a little meat from one breast to eat it then snapped it back in its container. The next time I went in there, there were, what looked like 5-6 gnats in there on the chicken breast. I didn’t puke but I didn’t debone the chicken like I wanted too. Should I throw away the chicken they were on? I don’t eat the skin so I’m not to worried about the meat where I’m going to pull the skin off, and most times I use this chicken meat in casseroles. I’m thinking maybe there were no gnats in the bottom container because maybe the weight of the one on top, sealed the snap plastic tight enough not to get in. To eat or not to eat this chicken???

[@MichaelMcDonald_BSME_hokie]

Seriously? These things are everywhere and there isn't an American common name for them which isn't a rip on one taken by a dissimilar pest? Unfortunately, it would seem plausible.
