Post 8: This Week in Science (Fruit Flies Part 1)

This week in science we've been doing lots of research on Fruit Flies and what they do. Fruit flies are insects that are little flies that come around from old food and mainly fruit. There attracted to the smell of these and come. after days more and more come and reproduce and soon there are lots of fruit flies. We are doing this fruit fly project soon we haven't began yet but they are mainly for our spider habitat project. We are getting something called a cellular spider which is going to be in our terrariums and the fruit flies are dinner for the spider.

I learned that Fruit Flies reproduce fast and they are able to have babies in about a day. I also learned that female Fruit Flies only need to have sex once and then they have babies for the rest of their life. I also been doing research on the spiders and I learned that the spider eats Fruit Flies and other insects to live. Also that spiders need to live in certain places and habitats surrounded by life.
