Yea, I like the B. smithi's lil black butt-spot. I can't wait to see them start getting their colors. I freaking LOVE them!

I recently picked up a colony of the curly winged flies and they're a MUCH bigger pain to deal with. They only fly a couple of inches but it's enough, they do this hop/fly thing that lets them spread out pretty quick. The true wingless flies will hop a little bit but it's not as much of a problem.
Um lol honestly I'm not too fruit fly knowledge. They're the ones they sell at Petco. The jar says they're Drosophila melanogaster. I looked that up and it said "common fruit fly." They don't seem to fly at all, they just walk up stuff like freaking Spiderman.
