After that, you’ll be left wondering if these small bugs canreallyhurt you, or if they’re just annoying.

So, Are Fruit Flies Harmful?
Quick answer: yes and no.
果蝇对人类可能是危险的，但不以咬人的形式（不，他们不能像蚊子或马蝇一样咬人，可能会咬您），但他们可以做其他讨厌的事情……
What Do Fruit Flies Look Like?
第一件事首先：
重要的是要确保您看到的昆虫实际上是果蝇。
有几个不同的虫子始终被误认为是水果蝇，以及逆蝇（但稍后会更多）。
Right now, we’ll concentrate on the果蝇, which is very small (about 1/8 of an inch) with wings that make its flight pattern more of a flutter than a zoom.
The physique of the fruit fly looks like someone dwarfed a common housefly, and its color is a caramel brown. Perhaps the most widely-known feature of the fruit fly is its set of blood-red eyes.
Do Fruit Flies Carry Disease?
We’re glad you asked.
是的，果蝇本质上是细菌和疾病的海绵。
它们以腐烂的材料为食，因此它们的足迹几乎就像是所有细菌的培养皿，这些细菌在腐烂的水果中蜂拥而至。
This is where humans can find themselves in danger with fruit flies.
While the risk is low,some fruit flies已被证明是致病细菌的载体，该载体具有通过接触传播到人类的能力。
果蝇如果吃掉有害吗？
大多数人会积极避免吃虫子（除非他们是恐惧因素的参赛者）。但是，尽管我们尽力相反，但果蝇（及其细菌）经常潜入人类的身体。
Not only do these insects gloss the surface of fruits with bacteria when they land, but females also embed their eggs into the flesh of the produce, which can lead to human ingestion on accident.
How can you fix this problem?
简单的！
Be sure to thoroughly wash all your produce before eating it.
如果您确实不小心吃果蝇，那么您胃中的酸应该能够解决任何问题。
Because these little bugs are full of nasty disease, you should still take precaution!
水果蝇怎么吃？
因此，如果水果苍蝇什么都没咬，他们如何获得食物？
在他们生命周期的每个步骤中，都有一种方法可以养活自己，而无需所有需要任何东西。
果蝇卵
When a female fruit fly lays a sachet of eggs, the nutrients from the organic material they inhabit can seep into the egg and feed the developing larvae. After the larvae emerge from the eggs, they can extract the juices themselves. These larvae储存营养that they use in their next phase of life.
果蝇p
Fruit fly larvae lock themselves away in dark, dry places (think cracks and crevices) while they’re in the pupae stage. This is important because this is where the main development occurs; the larvae transform from white splotches to fully-formed adult fruit flies.
这里要注意的一个有趣的点是果蝇pupae don’t eat。这段时间的开发时间远离了他们的食物来源和繁殖地，因此在这里使用了幼虫阶段节省的额外营养，以助长其不断变化的身体。
成人果蝇
Once the fruit flies emerge from the cocoons they built for themselves in the pupae stage, they’re free to roam the world in search of a fresh (or, not so fresh) new source of food.
果蝇主要是水果和蔬菜所吸引etables that have undergonefermentation，它是指通过厌氧手段分解葡萄糖时在有机材料中发生的化学反应。
但是，果蝇如何在不咬食物的情况下得到食物呢？
好吧，他们的嘴里有一个特殊的装置，几乎像一根巨大的吸管。从腐烂的物质中吮吸发酵汁。
果蝇主要是水果和蔬菜所吸引etables that have undergone fermentation.
They have a special apparatus on their mouths that acts almost like a huge straw; sucking the fermented juices from decaying matter.
Find A Local Exterminator
看起来像果蝇，但是咬了什么？
There are many fruit fly imposters out there, causing a lot of people to think that a bite from a fruit fly not only exists, but leaves a mark.
We’re here to dispel some of the rumors.
没有看到的错误
这是一个不容易用肉眼看到的虫子的毯子术语。当然，它们并不是完全看不见的，就像那里的名字可能会导致您相信。
However…
They usually attack in such a way that is fast and effective, sneaking off rapidly after they’ve taken a bite.
The street name is more of a slang term, of course. The general way to refer to “no-see-um bugs” is to call them by their more common name:沙叶。
Biting Gnats
咬人（也称为咬人）是微小的苍蝇，在世界各地温暖的气候中壮成长，可能会给人类和动物造成痛苦的叮咬。尽管这些昆虫通常不会传播疾病，但它并不超出可能从咬人gnat的口径中获取细菌的可能性。
Generally, all that humans need to worry about for themselves and their pets in the face of a bite from a biting gnat is a painful red fleck on the skin, which heals itself naturally in a matter of days.
咬人并跳跃的微小黑色虫子
通常，如果您可以明显地看到一只小昆虫跳，那就看着tick虫或跳蚤。这些寄生昆虫是独一无二的，因为它们没有翅膀，但确实有一个不可思议的能力跳跃up to around 8 inches. For an insect that measures in at only around 2 millimeters, that’s no small feat.
Also, ticks and fleas subsist on a diet of purely blood. While fruit flies also enjoy snacking on organic matter, the two food groups are totally different. Fleas and ticks get their nutrition from biting a living host and extracting the blood, but fruit flies slurp up fruit juice and live on the calories.
The Bottom Line
如果你see a fruit fly (or 30) in your kitchen, it’s not a huge cause for alarm.
These pests are disgusting for sure, but they’re probably not going to ravage disease through your home and they most certainly won’t take a bite out of your skin.
如果你做experience a bite from what you thought was a fruit fly, you are now able to discern that it is a completely different species of insect.
水果苍蝇没有任何牙齿或撕裂工具，因此最糟糕的是，他们会对您做的，这让您烦恼。
