My greatest challenge is opening & closing the F.Fly culture lids smoothly . I found that dispensing smaller amounts of D. Hydei's to individuals this works fine.

@Serle The problem you will have with that permanently attached is that it will soon become clogged with pupating flies, old pupae cases, and a bit of everything else. As the culture shown in the photo is old, nearly out of food, and ready to crash you will not notice problems until reusing it on a new culture.
Hopefully it is easy enough to remove the feeder tube and the 90 degree elbow too, that way you can simply cover the lid hole with a piece of sponge (and that will prevent the problems).

A few fallibilities certainly , as I wrote in the intro. my challenge is opening & reclosing lids I am sure there may be others in this community that may have difficulties (coordination ,mobility , arthritis ) and require adapting to these challenges. The marvelous thing about Mantid Herding is the new adaptation opportunities offered .Thnkz for your feedback ... S
Ah, if you change the lid to feed from it then back again it would work great (I just assumed it was left on all the time).
Glad your having fun with the DIY aspect, keep at it. I always enjoy seeing someone else's approach, and it will help others and lead to even more ideas.
