[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 287709, member: 8619"] This looks like a great idea but how do you get the flies, especially BB flies into the bottle? I see you use a funnel but why don't the flies get away at that point? Maybe I just don't hatch the pupae in the proper container? (I have them in a small critter keeper and I have to put them in the fridge just to get a couple out---obviously not smart. If I up-ended the critter keeper into the funnel, all the unhatched pupae, the fly food, the water crystals, just everything would fall into the funnel.) I guess I need a lesson on the best way to hatch the pupae? Can you tell me how you handle that part so it is then easy to get the flies into the funnel and bottle? Do you put the pupae in your bottle and let them hatch there? Your answers have helped me so many previous times and I know that as one grandma to another you're going to give me an "aha" moment! Thanks, Nancy [/QUOTE]
