Catch and Release

Having spent a lifetime believing that the saying, "He couldn't hurt a fly" was an exageration, I learned something today.

My daughter learn how to make a live trap for fruit-flies.  Attracted by the smell of fruit at the bottom of the jar, flies climb in, but, because the bottom of the role of paper is so small, flies become trapped.

When she has a number of flies trapped, she takes the jar outside and releases them.

No fruit flies were killed in this operation.
