FRUIT FLY TRAP

I WAS REALLY GETTING FED UP WITH THOSE DARN FRUIT FLIES
SO, I CHECKED THE INTERNET: A QUART JAR, A SHEET OF CARD STOCK ,  A LITTLE TAPE. A LITTLE BANANA PEEL AND VIOLA,  
S         U          C           C            E          S           S

Fly traps built on this principle have been around for a very long time.
I built this one yesterday afternoon and within a very short time it had more flies
in it than are shown now.   What did I do with them? you ask.
Well I wasn't going to turn them loose outside so I stuck the bottle in the freezer
and froze the little devils.  This is the results of an after freeze, overnight catch.
I haven't been bothered by one of the little devils all morning. 

So where do they come from? 
We cart them home with the fresh fruit we buy at the grocery store etc.
Next time you are shopping for fresh fruit look for the little fruit flies.

FUNNY FOTOGRAF

This photo I saw on Face book bothered me right away.

Then upon examination, I discovered that  it has been doctored
 or is a hoax.



Can you see the most blatant mistake?
Don't scroll down until you find it or give up.
