No. Gnat is a term associated with the Nematocera suborder of flies, consisting of mosquitoes, crane flies, black flies and midges. Most of the species are predatory, and it is the black fly that is usually known as the gnat. Fruit flies, on the other hand, belong to suborder Brachycera and section Schizophora and to the two families of Tephritidae and Drosophila. As the name states, they feed on plant matter and fruit juices, and contrary to common belief, do not bite or feed on humans.
