Bait Traps & Pheromone Traps

[leptraps]

I currently have six (6) in stock. I have another 25 in the process. After that I will not be able to get 10" X 3" Layer Cake Pans until mid-June. They are in transit from China. And then a week or two to have the slots machined.

The easy way to get flies out of any of the flat bottom style traps, including the Slotted Pan, a can of Raid. Ortho is not bad either. I just spray the trap and use a paper towel or two to wipe the dead flies out of the trap.

"shill" - an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, swindler or vendor who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others.

I am not sure where yuou are going with that post. And, the swindler comment leaves much to be desired.

Do you have any of my traps?

I have one of Leroy's traps and it works great! The construction is top notch and far heavier duty than I myself could have cobbled together.

I use apples and bananas with brown sugar. Sometimes some apple cider. I usually let it sit in the sun for a few days in a ziplock until the ziplock is ready to pop.

I just returned from checking my traps in Southern, Indiana. I found a very nice suprise. A somewhat worn female of Polygonia progne. Not sure why it is here. I have never seen it's host plant, Goose Berry (Ribes). I am keeping her for Ova.

I am in route to West Virginia to get some host plant. Would love to rear this little bugger.

Just curious, how do you "keep her for ova" In a cage?

I use cages. I have some from BioQuip (18 X 18 X 36 & 12 × 12 X 24. I have a dozen home made 12 X 12 X 28. That latter are currently in use. They are full of Colias philodice and Colias eurythemme larvae.

I use the 18 X 18 X 36 for females and host plants. I currently have a single female Polygonia progne female and several with several females of Papilio appalancensis.
