depends on the species. the kind i have locally here don't really fly at all, never had one fly away on me. what species do you have?So, from my experience with these, they fly like mad. How do you keep them from flying out when you remove the lid? Just try and be quick about it?
From what I've learned, the adults will only fly if the temperature exceeds 80degrees f.So, from my experience with these, they fly like mad. How do you keep them from flying out when you remove the lid? Just try and be quick about it?
I also meant to ask what you use the colony for. Feeders, I assume?
Never thought I'd see you posting here again Whitey. Give us some pics of that colony one of these days.Thanks for the care sheet, and for the rest of this thread.
I'm keeping them in the dark for the most part, but I'm thinking of moving them somewhere with steady light. As of now they still kind of scatter when I come in and flip the switch. They seem most active during the morning, and like you said, right after a misting.
