yeh when mine came there were flies and noi maggots . bout a week later theres a ton of maggotsi just got a flightless fruit fly culture from Global Live Food / mealwormsdirect.co.uk ( very cheap ). i've never done this before. they said the flies would emerge after 7 days but theres a bunch of em hanging around at the top and no sign of pupae or anything. was wondering if it is those flies that are gonna make the culture happen? anyone know how long this thing'll last ? and anyone got any clever way of getting some out but not the others? thanks
i think i heard people will put the flies in the freezer for about 3 or 4 min and the flies will goto sleep.
oh and on both my containers when the maggots start to grow the top layer of media looks really wet
