I know. The flies i am offering are bigger than him. She feeds on blue bottles, and he feeds on fruit fly. Where's the logic in that?

He must be doing something right. He has been on for 5 hours now, so i will move them into the breeding net for the rest of the nite now (its nearly midnight here). They should be done by the time i get up in the morning. He then will have 1 day off then will breed with my other lady-girl on wednesday. I really dont know how these little bugs do it. Im lucky to get 5 mins outta hubby (luv u if you are reading this hun 
)

The female in the pic is 6cm, and the male is 2cm. He is still alive B) , so i will use him with our other female tomorrow. She is only 5.1cm, but still beautiful.
