Feeder insect trap

[Mr.Mantid]

I made a flie trap, I put some meat inside and after two or three day there were flies inside the trap, about 6 or 8 flies eache day, but I could recollect them for 2 or 3 days, then the flies didn´t get inside the trap, but I saw maggots inside the trap and thanks to PhilinYuma I could get some pupaes and then Flies.

The trap I made was like the next figure

some weeks after I used the trap again, but in that time besides flies a lizard felt inside the trap and it couldn´t get out.

So I can suggest to hang up the trap some inches above the ground if you want to make one like this one.

Awesome looks good! Do you ever get wasps that fly in their too? I think I'll be trying this out this summer

I only trapped some flies no wasps, but I saw some in a lemon tree, but never tried to catch them.

I did other trap that I found on the web also with meat inside, It looks like

The bottom of the bottle was black, so flies tend to go to the light (the top).
