Drosophila means dew loving. They belong to the Droso–philidae family; and are most often referred to as fruit flies or often called vinegar, wine or pomace flies. Their main distinguishing character is to remain on fruits, which are ripped or rotten. There is another related family Tephritidae, their members also are called as true fruit flies or fruit flies. Drosophilae are different from them. They feed primarily on unripe or ripe fruits. The entire genus, however, contains quite 1500 species , which are very diverse in their appearance, behavior, and breeding habitat . However, many members of the Drosophilidae are categorized into two subgenera, during which around 1100 species belong to Drosophila subgenera; moreover, about 330 species belong to Sophophora subgenera including D. (S.) melanogaster. Furthermore, another Drosophila species, i.e., Hawaiian spp. have quite 500 species during which only 380 species are described. Furthermore, they are occasionally documented as a separate subgenus or genus, i.e., Idiomyia grimshawi , but this is not widely accepted. About 250 species are part of the genus Scaptomyza, which arose from the Hawaiian Drosophila and later recolonized in continental areas . However, Drosophila spp. are distributed all over the earth; moreover, many species are found in the tropical regions. Furthermore, the alpine zones, cities, deserts, swamps, and tropical rainforest also confine them. Furthermore, hibernation takes place in many northern species.
