The duskys aren't too keen on gentles so i thought id try to set a up a place where the pupae can hatch and hopefully the duskys can catch the flies.

Terracotta pot has a couple of inches of slightly damp potting mix plus maggots & their food. Top pot has one opening and fits securely. I put it near one of their favourite spots, but anything new in the cage will be fully inspected - like immediately.

Really hope flies don't only hatch at night and the whole exercise is futile.

Flys shouldnt fly at night need to warm up before flying.

Is your invention working ok?

Honestly don''t know at this stage BB

Unlike everywhere else, we have been having a cold spell for the past 6 weeks or so. Hardly over 21oC most days.
I'm still waiting for the flies to hatch!
