Why flightless fruit flies??

[spooky]

Hi all! I was just wondering why flightless/wingless fruit flies are more preferred to than flying fruit flies? Are they easier to cultivate? Or is it because they are easier for frogs to catch? Sorry if it's a silly question, I just don't get it

I think its easier for the frogs, and their keepers. You don't have to worry about escapes in your house as easily.

It makes it easier on you lol
The little buggers are small and escape like nobodies business. If they had wings it would be much worse!

the lack of wings probably helps some of the animals too.....

Yes they are much easier for everyone involved. Just for simple fact that they don't fly. It's easier to catch them if they do get out and easier for the frogs to catch them as well.

It takes a lot longer for a "walk" to get to the bananas in your kitchen than it does for a "fly".

Yeah, they were the logical answers I guess! Thought there may be more to it than that! Next, they should try to genetically modify crickets so they don't jump...... Now THERE'S an idea!!! They are a pain
