Earthlings don't eat Earth either. They're still Earthlings.

Sperm whales don't eat sperm.

Mayflies don't eat May or any other month.

Earthlings don't eat earth because "earth" isn't something to be eaten. Sperm whales don't eat sperm because sperm is (usually) not something to be eaten.

Fruit, however, is supposed to be eaten, and by many, many animals. By calling something a fruit fly, the expectation for most people would be that its diet consists mainly of fruit

I'm going to be very upset if fruit bats don't eat fruit
