That beautiful bunch of organic bananas? It’s a luxury hotel for fruit fly embryos. Female fruit flies lay eggs just under the skin of ripe fruit. You literally can’t see them.
You buy a tomato. You bring home a peach. You’ve bought a ticket to a fruit fly rave. The eggs wait patiently for the perfect moment.
That moment is when your fruit gets a little soft. A little bruised. That’s their signal to hatch.
