I was thinking if someone ever uses certain liquids or food to attract flies. My interest is mainly to rapidly find more flies to photograph easily on a place I decide when I'm outdoors ... Cool

Hi Crex, it all depends on what species of flies you want to photograph.

The really rare ones Wink ... No I was thinking generally. I have no real preferences. Just to quickly attract flies. I know sh*t attracts some flies very quickly, but it's not pleasant to photograph up close Pfft

Well, wine is perfect to attract Drosophilidae, and it comes in handy when you're on a terrace enjoying the autumn sun! Smile

The Aster flowers also attract many flies and other insects at this time of the year, and you may be able to buy them when they're not growing anywhere near your home.

Best. louis

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
