        I don’t even know who this guy is, but I’ll avoid him. The expression has been around a hundred years.

    I’ll have to read this some other time when I’m feeling a little smarter and can understand the words. But I do love some home made fruit fly traps! When there’s a teenager in the house and it’s warm outside, they are a miracle.

      What do warm teenagers have to do with fruit flies?

        Fruit flies are attracted to the different human life stages by temperature inversely proportional to the humans age. They like hot babies, warm adolescents, cold adults and the rest can kind of be fit into that continuum.

        Most teenagers I know, and myself when I was one, are much messier than at any other stage in their life. The issue for most is that they are old enough to start sneaking food into their rooms that a kid wouldn’t, or that the kid can’t hide as effectively. I’ve had to come spray for pests in more teenagers rooms than any other part of the age spectrum.

        Not sure either. Maybe because when it’s warm out, kids and teenagers are constantly running in and out of the house, maybe not closing doors behind them, which lets flies in?

    Very distantly related: if you have indoor plants and fungus gnats (often mistaken for fruit flies) get mosquito bits and thank me later 💪

    Fruit flies are made of atoms so this device obviously works.

          That… is unsettling. I remember the fruit fly experiments I did in college, and I am now barfing imagining those vials being put opened in an orifice.
