Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit loving yellow underbelly flies) are the best examined flies in the world. They have been critical to our understanding of genetics and the actions of genes on morphology and mutations. They were the first insects to be taken into space by the shuttle Columbia whichregrettably burnt up on reentry due to a hole in the leading edge of a wing. Some flies survived the accident when found in the debris.
