Fruit flies share many genetic similarities with humans, including having a similar set of genes that control key biological processes. They also exhibit behaviors and responses to stimuli that are analogous to those seen in humans, making them a valuable model organism for studying biological processes and diseases. Additionally, fruit flies have organs and tissues that are homologous to those found in humans, providing insights into fundamental biological mechanisms that are conserved across species.
No, fruit flies do not suck blood from humans or other animals. They primarily feed on decaying fruits and vegetables.
A fruit fly will not lay eggs in humans because they would not be able to stay still on a human long enough. A human would get the fly off of them before they would have a chance to lay eggs.
Fruit flies do not have red blood like humans. Their blood, called hemolymph, is colorless.
Yes, fruit flies have a circulatory system that contains a fluid called hemolymph, which is similar to blood in other animals.
Fruit flies can be considered pests when they infest homes or invade fruit bowls, but they also play important roles in scientific research as model organisms. Their short lifespan and genetic similarities to humans make them valuable for studying genetics and disease.
Fruit flies eat fruit and so do humans

I am assuming you mean 'Why are fruit flys used in experiments and not humans?' in which case the answer is there are so many fruit flies and they are not really neccicary to us humans. Also if something goes wrong, humans could die or get mentally ill. Fruit flys just croak over and aren't missed. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Fruit flies feed on fruit and similar plant material. They do not feed on other insects.

Fruit flies, sometimes called gnats, are tiny insects that are often found buzzing around a bowl of fresh fruit. Scientists find fruit flies useful to study because some of their genes are very similar to those of humans. The fruit fly is highly susceptible to environmental factors, the genetic effects of which can be seen over the course of a few generations in fruit flies, since they reproduce, age, and pass on so much more quickly than other organisms.

Firstly, peas and fruit flies come to maturity much faster than humans so you can fit in lots of generations in a practicable time. Secondly, fruit flies have a much simpler genotype than we do. Finally there are far fewer ethical restrictions when you experiment on flies or peas.
