if you don't want to look at all of them, the third one would be the best image, but basically any time i see a black spot inside a banana is that almost always a fruit fly?

I'm sure those are the seeds. If fruit flies have landed on that banana, there eggs wouldn't hatch for a while. By the time they actually hatch into larvae, the banana would be black by then.

You just need to look really closely. They are probably 1 mm in length and are rod-shaped white. If they laid eggs, that's how the eggs look like.
