The true fruit fly (the one that developes from apple maggots) is about half the size of a normal house fly. It can be seen flying around rotting apples at the base of the tree. This fly is known scientifically as Rhagoletis pomonella.

The fly commonly called "fruit fly" is not much bigger than the head of a pin. It is also the much-studied fly used in genetic research because of the extremely large chromosomes in its saliva, and its extremely fast propagation rate allowing the study of several generations in a short time period. This fly is known scientifically as Drosophila melanogaster, and is called a vinegar fly by the scientific community.

So you can say it does weigh less than an oz. So I can use this wording in my riddle I came up with when I say, "I'm alive, I weigh less than an oz. and my name is an example of the defiance of gravity. What am I? 😄
