Therey are nowhere to bee seen untill you have a rotting banana.

Now they are dive bombing my glass of wine because the banana is gone.

Was that satisfying PrefetParfait?

PrefetParfait · 22/07/2009 19:19

I made some with red eyes and some with white eyes.

And I anesthatised them with ether. Watching them twitch as they woke up was cool

southeastastra · 22/07/2009 19:25

is that your job prefet?

LynetteScavo · 22/07/2009 19:25

I hope you managed to gain some amazing insight into the mating of fruite flys, PP!

I'm not trying to kill them, unsucessfully by clapping my hands on them.

they always look so easy to catch until you try

PrefetParfait · 22/07/2009 19:27

No.

I did it as part of biology practicals at Uni

LynetteScavo · 22/07/2009 21:09

Hmmm...funny how when uni students end their academic term the fuit flys appear!

well I guess they have to be released somewhere - animal rights and all that !

I think they malinger in indoor plant pots.

Have you ever wondered how many fruit flies you've unknowingly injested while drinking wine/beer?

MumtoCharlieandLola · 23/07/2009 12:43

Are they related to the little black ones you get in your bathroom sometimes

(yes perhaps I am a dirty slattern if nobody else gets these).

I keep cleaning my sink but they keep popping back up again
