Difference Between Gnats And Fruit Flies

Everyone knows that gnats are extremely annoying. They will swarm from face to face and won’t get out of it until you hit and kill them, or until they find somewhere else to go. Gnats do this because many of them are attracted to body heat. (What Attracts Gnats?) For example, soccer games ending late in the evening, and sweat pouring from everybody gnats tend to swarm up around most of the people out on the field. Gnats and fruit flies are very similar. The only difference between the two, is that gnats form big groups outdoors, while fruit flies are mostly found indoors. Either way they’re living, they’re both extremely annoying. There are many different types of gnats, which are Fungus Gnats, Drain Flies, Midges, Sand Flies, and Black
Gnats. (What Are Gnats?) All of these insects are somewhat related or similar. They’re either more on the mosquito side or the gnat side, but the point is all the same. Fruit Flies/Gnats can be attracted to fruity smells and body heat the most.(What Attracts Gnats?) Gnats originally come from an adult carrying it in an egg (Paul J. Johnson, 2016.) Gnats will only start to appear when something that attracts them, gives off a smell close to them. The main sense they use is their smelling. They use their smelling to find their attractions. If noticeable, gnats sometimes swarm around in these big groups. The gnats do this, so that they can reproduce, which means making more annoying gnats to bother us. Gnats can lay more than one thousand eggs at once (Melissa,2015.) After the gnats “mate” with each other, they do die(Melissa,2015.) This is somewhat similar to honey bees, once they sting, their stinger and other parts of their body are left behind, which causes them to die from abdominal rupture (Honey Bee Stings.)Many insects and bugs are researched to die after they reproduce, so gnats are just apart of the big group. Gnats bother and annoy many people, and a lot of these people don’t know what attracts them, what they need to get rid of in their house, or how to get rid of these gnats/fruit flies if these bugs are extremely bad for them.
Wanting to get rid of gnats can be very easy and very hard, depending on the solution used to get rid of them.The most common usage to get rid of gnats, is to use what attracts them as a source for a trap. For example, since a banana is a fruit, mash it up, put it in a cup/bowl, put plastic wrap over the bowl with little holes in the top, easy enough for them to get into(Lucy Congress.) Eventually, they’ll get stuck and die in the mashed up banana. There are multiple ways to get rid of gnats but this is just one efficient way. It doesn’t matter, gnats will always find some way to annoy people, and it’s understandable, but that’s apart of the way these little insects live. They may bite, they may not bite, they’re still extremely annoying. These insects do what they do, because they need ways to live. Food is a main factor, and they get that mainly from things we have. Those little insects cannot live off of themselves. They may need support from us, even though we take them as annoying bugs that always swarms in someone’s face. Gnats have lives they live too, and with thousands more coming, nobody can stop
them.
