How can you make a lid?

[Shadow]

A lid that fruit flies cannot escape

I used mesh from a craft store, probably a stocking would work as well

 

[Digger]

make large air holes in a deli cup or food storage container. slip a section of stocking (pantyhose) over the lid. trim with scissors and seal cut end(s) with a staple or two. I have pix if you're curious. I've found nothing works better. also make a hole in the container side for dumping in ffs. plug the hole with small piece of foam.

I cut a hole out and hot glue some mosquito net, stretched tight, over the hole!

You can buy lids already made,or you could make your own.I use too many to make my own.I just happen to be making a bunch of ff cultures today so I took some quick pics for you.I use the same lids for my mantids.I wash and reuse them for ffs.
