Catching Flying Fruitflies

1. Put a clear plastic bag over the

opening of a glass jar. 2. Fix it with a rubber band and cut

off the bottom of bag. 3. Turn bag funnel-wise into jar,

insert bowl with banana and yeast, and wait for flies to get trapped.

4. Make a sieve-tube to fit your

vacuum cleaner. The tube has a small opening in the bottom end to diminish the suction from the vac, and a wire mesh halfway up, preventing flies to get sucked into the vac.

5. Place sieve-tube in vac inlet. 6. Insert the tube into the fly-trap to collect flies.

7. 7. Hold hand over opening to

prevent flies from escaping, empty sieve-tube into glass jar containing a small amount of vi-tamin powder. Shake.

8. The powder makes the flies unfit for flying.

9. Shake portions of flies into ter-rarium. The flies will be easy prey as they are walking around trying to rid themselves of the vitamin dust.
