The fruit fly typically has a brownish head and thorax, and bright red eyes, which sets them apart from a fungus gnat. Fruit flies also have a distinct black color pattern on their wings and a dark tail and abdomen. Gnats, on the other hand, are black with black eyes.
Where do gnats and fruit flies come from?
Typically, gnats will enter your house from the outdoors through cracks or holes in your foundation, walls, windows, or doors. Gnats often infest trash cans, rotten fruit, and other moist places where decomposing organic matter exists. They can also be found near sinks, drains, and toilets.
What's the difference between a gnat and a fly?
They each have three body segments – the head, thorax and abdomen. They both also have wings and antennae. Most species of gnats are very small, measuring one-quarter of an inch in length or less. On the other hand, flies are usually considerably larger.
