    Do they change colors or something? I once caught a big green one when I was young. I tried to feed a night crawler to it. The slime from the worm covered it's mouth and suffocated it to death....

    I believe if you just leave a peeled banana outside you can get a culture of fruit flies.

    You can actually eat the banana and put the peel in a jar with holes in the lid and grow your own fruitflies, but they will almost definitely be winged, unlike the wingless ones at the store.

    Hey, I've got a picture of one of those! It was living outside my front door for a couple of days before I found him dead on my doorstep.

    Anyway, I named it Zorak. Anyone seen Spaceghost Coast to Coast?
