      But they do? Along with any other animal that happens to be nearby.

      That is the one insect I will go out of my way to kill.

    Reminds me of the old joke, what do you call a fly with no wings?

    A walk.

    They’re called fruit flies because they gather around rotting fruit.

    But there are also “true fruit flies” which do eat fruit.

      They’re generally called vinegar flies, and they don’t infest fresh fruit like fruit flies do when they lay their eggs in fruit.
