    Yea I honestly didn't know how the manufacturers or whoever thought we would be able to manage. I guess they just left us to think up our own ways. Lol.

    I started off with a nice mayo type jar from The Fruit Fly Company or something like that. It was MUCH easier to maneuver, so when I started culturing my own with the NEHERP containers I really struggled with the huge opening and the flies just pouring out all over like some horror film lol. I am sure with practice it's easier, but it was just too crazy for me and I am a problem solver.

  3. This member thanks awelcome for this post:

    I will try to do a video tomorrow with a culture I have that is just busting with flies to show how I do it and get it posted. It really is easy once you get a system. I may have a couple flies get out onto the table, but those are easily caught and added into the feeding cup.
