    DIY Large feeder culture container - waxworms and others

    @LAME Would love to know how it works out for you... I haven't tried mine yet... With my hatred of flies I'm still enjoying the hunt for my girl to enjoy lol I think the biggest thing that turned me off is the moth lifespan... If I'm correct I remember hearing they only live a few days... Now I...

    Yep @CosbyArt you're right blow flies... The kind forensics use to estimate the time of death due to the stage of the flies which make sense cause I used rotting fish in the traps. Side note  I was able to grab some spikes they left behind... What's crazy is I dumped the rotting fish in a bag...

    New & Improved Fly Catcher

    @CosbyArt I don't know my friend I might beg to differ ? This is a 4 hour catch with over 50 flies... I'm almost willing to guarantee close to 100 giving a full 10 or 12 hours. I'm sure a few got away but only by sheer luck cause I've paid pretty close attention and here's what I came up...

    Hello Fam, I have never seen these kind of flies before... They are huge (Bigger than Blue Bottles) with red/orange eyes. I set the trap out the day it stopped raining & caught quite a few. They're not very active but Triple OG seems to love them. If anyone have any info these buggers...

    New & Improved Fly Catcher

    What up Fam.. This was my very first fly trap design before I went the with the mini laundry bag (actually I found the packaging it came in and it's for washing bra's lol) I tried it once but a few things didn't quite work out so I tossed it to the side but something told me to hold on to it...

    Homemade Fly Trap

    @CosbyArt Yea.... I can't do spiders or snakes LOL I was thinking about getting one of those carnivorous Katydids... The only thing is I about them is the lifespan is very short.

    Have anyone used these for their Terrarium??

    @CosbyArt @LAME I discovered them on Wish but bought mines here in the states just as cheap and faster delivery... just search temperature controller and/or humidity controller and they will pop up!

    Homemade Fly Trap

    @invertebrates Yea I live in California  (Compton) It's still pretty warm here. It's usually 80 degrees on Christmas day. Lol (Gotta love it!) @CosbyArt  Thanks! Yes I'm having fun with the hobby... I've always had a pet/pets from dogs, birds (Roller Pigeons) to fish (Piranhas) so this is...

    Have anyone used these for their Terrarium??

    My baby was acting very irritated a few weeks ago (very jumpy and moving around a lot) and I couldn't understand why but then I noticed the little zoo med temp/humidity gauge was acting very sporadic so I began looking for an alternative and came across these on Wish.com. There were very cheap...

    Homemade Fly Trap

    Hello Fam! I've been busy collecting food for my baby these days every since I came up with this pretty cool idea... I was in the dollar store (my favorite place lately) when I came across these mini laundry bags. (The kind u throw in the washer or dryer with your load)  I made a few...

    I was going to buy some BBF spikes but the guy suggested Solider flies... 200 for 5.00. He also mentioned although the look kinda like wasp but without a mouth and no stinger & they would be a good food source... Can I have u guys thoughts on this... Thanks!
