Fruit fly question?

[MatthewM1]

Do flightless fruit flies get large enough as adult that a adult fbts would enjoy munching on them?

I'm just trying to offer as much variety as I can and can get a ff culture from the shop down the street, was thinking about giving it a try.

I doubt it!

However , have you thought about raising wax worms to moths?

No I haven't, my only source of wax worms around here though is a petsmart that sell cups of mostly dead ones though.

Thanks for the article, but it seems pretty easy I might give it a try next time I'm out near petsmart. I'll look through the cups and try to find a better one this times

I'm sure you know-the dead ones are dark brown or black.
Sometimes your lucky enough to find some that have already started.

BTW - What a cute name Slurmy Q
