No they do not. The don't even bite their food, but secrete digestive fluid to produce a liquid and with a small appendage suck it up into the digestive system.

Yes. They mainly fight over resources, shelter, or mates. This aggressive nature comes from the numerous predators that they encounter, including wasps, yellow jackets, frogs, and Spiders.

Is a fruit fly a baby fly?

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.
