Right well i've been using "set honey" which is still pretty liquidy, organic ofc. Although I've not seen the flies eating it, just walking on it or avoiding it? Are they meant to instantly go for it or do they just go as and when they want to feed? Not seen many dead flies, so i guess they...

Just recieved a shipment of flies, which were meant to be curly wing castors but ended up as being about 100 curly wing flies in a tub... Can these be kept in a fridge to keep longer, or will it be too cold? Also when castors are bought from a fishing tackle shop, can they be hatched? Or are...

What country/location?

How much for the cephalotus, and can this be sent to the UK? Not too sure on legislation from USA to UK, I know I've traded around the rest of europe and a few asian countries without a problem though!
