# Drosophila (dier)

Drosophila is een geslacht van kleine vliegjes dat meestal als 'fruitvliegjes' wordt aangeduid.
Fruitvliegjes leggen hun eitjes op (over)rijp fruit, opdat larven genoeg te eten hebben. De vliegjes komen van buiten op het rijpe fruit af, maar zijn daarna moeilijk weer kwijt te raken.

## Belang

De bananenvlieg (Drosophila melanogaster) wordt toegepast als proefdier voor genetische experimenten. Ze worden hiervoor gebruikt, omdat ze zich snel voortplanten en gemakkelijk van elkaar te onderscheiden zijn.
De suzuki-fruitvlieg (Drosophila suzukii) is een invasieve soort die een plaaginsect vormt in de teelt van kleinfruit en kersen.
