## Description

Product description Small Wingless Fruit Flies Culture, LiveFoods Direct, reptile and bird food Indications Reptiles and Amphibians, Birds, Insects, Wildlife, Small Animals Directions Place the culture at room temperature and wait for the flies to develop

Review: These are small, those out there are far away - If like me, you are a bit daft I'm going to state what is probably the obvious to everyone else. This is a culture of SMALL fruit flies. Not a small sized culture. The other fruit flies they sell (also great value) are larger flies. I recently started breeding my Jumping Spiders and the many many slings, are too small to eat the larger size flies, theses are so good for them. I've had mine almost two weeks and they are still going strong. Great product.
Review: Do not buy it - The fruit fly actually can fly can the box is very dirty, the fruit fly eggs dropped everywhere in my room

## Features

- An excellent starter feeder fly. This wingless variety produces very quickly and reliably. Fruit flies are very nutritious, are high in protein and an excellent feeder for reptiles, birds, spiders, mantis and amphibians. Wingless fruit flies cannot fly, so you don't need to worry about escaped flies buzzing around your head or about your pet's inability to catch flying flies.
- Once you receive delivery of your new culture/s, all you have to do is place it somewhere at room temperature (22 Celsius). Sit back and wait for the flies to pupate and emerge as adults. The time period for the culture to develop, pupate and adults to emerge may vary dependant upon the developmental stage of the culture, as you receive it and the ambient temperature. Generally D. hydei take about 3 weeks to complete their life stages (from egg to adult fly) at 20 to 24 Celsius.
