    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.

        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.

        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?
