Fruit fly
The tiny fly that is attracted to overripe bananas on your kitchen counter is called D. melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly.
Scientists have been raising fruit flies in the laboratory for about 100 years, studying how their genes affect development, appearance, behavior, life span and many other traits.
