[QUOTE="Jay, post: 280906, member: 337"] Well.... I [U]had[/U] them. I no longer raise these just because of the time requirement. Though raising and harvesting airborne houseflies can be a bit of a pain (transferring them in and out of the fridge), the time I spent on my curly-winged is what partially drove me out of the hobby the first time. Perhaps if I had everything automated, it would have not been so bad, but when it came down to flies vs. my wife and 4 children the choice was pretty obvious. Getting back into the hobby I had to ensure that the essential chores relating raising feeders required minimal attention and, more importantly, time. If you have a really efficient system for starting up your curly-winged you should try supplying these to researchers. I had a lady doing research on frogs contact me a couple of years ago asking me if I still cultured the curly-winged variety. She needed a non-flying variant to get exact weight measurements for the flies in the study she was doing. [/QUOTE]
