[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 315171, member: 10818"] I'm going to use this technique to see if I can start my first culture. I'm lucky enough to have a compost bin with all the free fruitflies I want, but I hate dealing with my homemade traps. I always feel like I should be wearing a hazmat suit. ? I've never purchased fruitflies before. The only reason I haven't already tried to start a culture is because I'm concerned about the smell... and they ain't too pleasant to look at either. I try not to gross out my family any more than I feel I already do. 3 quick questions if you don't mind: 1. Did you purchase the medium or use a recipe? 2. Is the odor as offensive as the appearance? ? 3. Approximately what temperature range do you maintain the culture? Thanks so much! Steve A. [/QUOTE]
