[QUOTE="nympho, post: 51405, member: 272"] for easy capture of escaped flies i made a pooter. essential equipment for anyone with fruit flies in his life. if any ff get away (and they always will) its quite efficient way to capture them. they are usually attracted to the window by the light so no worries if a few get out. its also how i feed the mantids. i release say 50 flies from their culture by a window, then suck them all into the pooter, tap them to one end, take the lid off (i made it from a tiny plastic cake decoration bottle, with tubes sticking out at each end made from ball point pens) and quickly place the open pooter over the hole in top of the mantis cage. fairly hassle free. also useful for capturing wild ones to start cultures :P [/QUOTE]
