    To win the heart of your wife...get some of those ugly fly strips you hang from the ceiling. That should help.
    1.2.0 Dendrobates tinctorius 'Azureus'
    1.1.0 Dendrobates Lamasi 'Orange'
    1.1.0 Dendrobates Ventrimaculatus 'Understory Line'
    0.3.0 Dendrobates leucomelas

    As always your mileage may vary!
    I may or may not know what I'm talking about!

    Your just itching to get me moved back into the igloo for a few nights right?

    She should be glad I didn't come home with gliders from Black Jungle :-) They would be everywhere. She did help me get the new cultures put together with a funnel so we didn't lose a fly loading up the cups.

    Wow, I woke up this morning, fed the Darts, and then noticed I could not see into the new cultures I put together last Sunday. 6 days after setting these up and there are enough maggots to completely cover 3/4 of the cups sides.

    I'm thinking I'm gonna be needing more Dart Frogs to help reduce the number of flies :-)
