Steer away from Petco fruit flies!

The fruit flies I got for my mantis egg cases ACTUALLY COULD
FLY! That cause fruit flies to invade our home that
JUST NOW died off! If you need fruit flies in a
pinch, make sure that they can't get out in your house, or fruit flies will
invade your house for 2 years!

The plastic jug with a white lid? Dealing with this now lol. The screens in their lids suck. And mine mostly escaped the enclosures too. On the plus side ive named a few rapidly growing spiders in my room lol.

Oh and so you know what it looks like, it's the size of a average peanut butter or a jam/jelly jar. What was funny, I dumped them in, and about a day or two later, I saw one do a loopy loop in the mantis cage, and I told my parents about it, and they said, "Eh, it was just one, the others are flightless." And then our house was FULL with these guys! Before we left to California, I started seeing less and less, so let's hope that they died off...

Oh dear, this explains a lot. Bought some for my toadlets and was in the kitchen a day later like "hmm, those fruit flies sure do travel a lot for not having any wings..."
