Really small flies

More info: Adult fruit flies are about 1/8" (3mm)long, with bright red eyes, tan head and thorax and blackish striped abdomen. Like all flies, they develop by complete metamorphosis. Eggs (as many as 500 by one female) are deposited on the surface of fermenting organic material. Larvae can begin to emerge as little as 30 hours later. Fruit fly larvae are small, legless white maggots pointed at one end. The larvae will feed for 5-6 days and then will crawl to a dry area to pupate, with the adult emerging a few days later. The entire life cycle can take as little as eight days under ideal conditions.
