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

- Fruit flies don’t actually consume much fruit - they’re more interested in yeast and bacteria growing on rotten fruit, says entomologist Tanya Latty.
This week, Westborough resident Wayne Firstenberg asks a question that has long bugged him: “Where do fruit flies come from ? It's an annoying miracle to me that they just suddenly appear on my aging fruit.”
We discovered why your kitchen is a dream home for fruit flies. And, yes, that does mean that if a small colony takes flight when you pick up a ripe banana on, say, a Thursday, there’s a pretty good chance you might have gobbled up some of its siblings earlier in the week.
And, while this “annoying miracle” of an insect may be bothersome on your bananas, it’s also been a boon for biochemistry.

watching this because my Wife is going Crazy about the Fruit Flies in our Kitchen.
Part of me regrets that I questioned where they came from in first place
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.
THEY DON'T ONLY COME OUT OF NOWHERE, THEY ALSO DISAPPEAR TO NOWHERE WHEN YOU TRY TO CATCH THEM.
I think 🤔 they are intelligent
@@AnaPaula-nh6hb , THEY HAVE WELL DEVELOPED SENSES, YEP. AND PEOPLE DO EXPERIMENTS WITH THEM.
Sometimes I really need to believe that “ignorance is bliss”
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?
The are also inside the banana as a larvae
These have outstanding production value and are densely packed with consumable science, love it! 👍
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.
6 nobel prizes!!!!! Lol everyone wanted to know where do they come from!!
Great stuff, keep it up!
I have Always wanted to know this!
So technically we buy fruit with bugs in it.
Heard about this on BRP- so psyched to see this and not just listen. Very cool.
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.
One of your best episodes!
Thanks. so much, Duke!
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.
This just ruined bananas for me
It’s not just bananas, it’s most produce 😆
Hey, atleast you get free protein
Soon, you will avoid peaches, wait nope, strawberries too, doh! They’re also In blueberries 🫐 Yikes! Maybe you become vegan? Nah there are plenty of worms and insects on veggies. Mind as well eat meat! Oh wait, they got worms too if you eat them rare or medium! Damn! 🍣 sushi? Wait no they can get worms too if it’s not treated. Certain worms in salmon and fish are edible.
Damn women, just eat grass!
I am Entomologist I wanted a. Detail study about this small insect
Wow! Very interesting.
Helps to wash all fruits?
It won't prevent fruit flies, but yes wash your fruit. Learn the best way to!
@@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.
This literally DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! (Where tf they come from!!!)
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.
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!
Thanks for letting us know
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.
@@critikasalihmeylanido you ever see fruit flies outside? How do they get in?
And that is why I don't kill spiders.. the natural fruit fly killer
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.
Nasty little flying buggers! i've become master exterminator of these and they still appear to come out of nowhere, though.
So, the saying: You'll get more flies with Sugar than Vinegar is not correct if you're after the Fruit fly.🤔
Oh thank God, i thought they just came from fruits themselves
That was awesome, thank you for that information.
- I wish I could erase that from my memory xDD
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.
Believe it or not,It only take a day for them to multiply yay!
Is that what the little black dots inside bananas are? Fruit fly eggs? Because aren't bannanas engineered to be seedless?
When they say " Seedless" the seeds are so under developed, they're small and soft. Seedless isn't quite Seedless.
@@digger105337 That's what they want us to think 😐
This is the food for swallow or swiftlet right?
It can hurt you. My granddaughter pooped out a huge maggot.
so what to do?? i randomly got like 100 in my kitchen nearby not exactly the trash almost the washroom near the kitchen, oh fk i had a dead mouse there i caught and threw away almost right away but i wonder if they smalleds that its fked.
luckily my room and all seems good i only saw 1.
make a fruit fly trap, it's so easy and many ways of doing it!
@@TheKatarinaGiselle I commend you for understanding his retarded language. That is truly amazing.
flies are valuable, they add extra free proteins for my daily workout meals.
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?
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.
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???
free protein :)
I KNOW for sure I’ve eaten a bunch of those little turds. Idk why I watched this, 😭😭
Wait till you see a video on what's in Meat and especially Fish, lots of parasites in fish. The more Organic and antibiotic free, the more pests in your food. Natural Yum🦟🐜🐛🐌 And you said no to eating bugs...😅
@@digger105337 1 year later response. Yeah, well don’t tell that to Vegetarians or Vegans or you will have them cry for months. It will help you win the debate against them though.
5 minutes is too long to tell this story, time is not renewable and we don't need to know everythin. If you want to host a talk show, fine. This isn't that gig.
Go back to pik pok.
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.
You are peeling that banana the wrong way
What kind of key opens a banana?

🤤🤤🤤🤤
ಠ(_)ಠ
I accidently ate a fruit fly when I was eating a apple so thanks
yummy! 😋
They’re harmless
@@CuriousCat777 are you smoking?!?!?! They legit are the most dangerous things ever. They carry viruses
@@TerriazeCAPCUTeditor You're saying this like all mosquitoes and flies are the same species. Malaria for example, only breeds in anopheles mosquito. Flys don't have it.
@@CuriousCat777 so are grubs and house fly larvae. 🐛
WiUd❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
