I'm assuming the answer is no, but thought I'd make sure:

Can fruit flies in any way hurt a T while its moulting or otherwise?

I've got an Exo Terra with mourning gecko's in the same room and every now and then a lucky fruit fly escapes these little hunters and gets out through the mesh top.
Just saw that one had gotten into the T's enclosure, presumably through the ventilation.

Nothing to worry about right?

Fruit flies are about as harmless as feeders get, and they only live a few days, so I wouldn't worry about them.

Fruit flies? No.

Phorid flies? Possibly. There are varying stories on that.
