fruit fly
A fruit fly is a small insect species of the Drosophila genus, known for its distinctive red eyes and yellowish-brown body color. They are commonly found in and around homes, especially where fruits and vegetables are present. Fruit flies are often used as a model organism in research studies due to their relatively simple genetic composition, short life cycle, and high reproductive potential. The term "fruit fly" is often associated with the species Drosophila melanogaster in particular, which is extensively used in genetic studies.
