Summer is here, so are the Gnats

Anyone ever snag one of those little gnats in flight. They like to visit with us every Summer, seems like more of them this year. They are fast little suckers, gotta give them credit for that. Where do they come from? Do they Winter in Florida and Arizona and just come North for the Summer?

Some call them "Fruit Fly's" and that may be correct, they do seem to love bananas and other fruits. Are there families of them, do they have Mothers and Fathers? They couldn't have much of a home life, they spend all their time in my kitchen, where do they sleep?

I have many times, seen one in flight, reached out a quick hand, sprung my forefinger and thumb "trap," but, I don't think I ever got one. The are too quick and evasive. I wonder if they laugh at me when I miss?
