So, I recently ran out of fruit flies, I still have the normal house house fly things for my other pets. I was wondering if fruit flies were the same as those house flies.


Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

Fruit flies (Drosophila) are not the same as house flies (Musca domestica).  They both should be fine food though.

Oh ok, thanks, I was just mainly looking to see if they wereboth safe for my camponotus colony, which is currently exploding in population. :)

Different species entirely. One is ten times bigger than the other. Both are good feeders, though.
