put a few drops of dishsoap into the applecider, it will kill the flies on contact.

@@Creaform003 The dish soap breaks the surface tension on the water, so the flies can’t sit on top. They fall in and drown. That’s why they look like they die on contact.

@@diggoran With the low surface tension the liquid flows straight into their spiracles drowning them pretty much instantly. I prefer it because anticholinesterase in fly spray kill pretty slow.

@@Creaform003 huh, interesting that the low surface tension results in them drowning in two ways, just in case one way wasn’t enough!

Diatomaceous earth can be a huge help if you've got indoor potted friends.

Could probably add a few slugs

My takeaway is the bloodleaf plant is stupidly easy to care for if you can just stick it in a jar and let it vibe, so I might try growing one after some research, plus they look really neat

@@Gay_Priest nah, the closed jar is a eco system itself not perfect but near perfect, without the nutrition for the fruit flies the whole thing would prob have gone downhill.

@@tarkitarker0815 hyperbole

life finds a jar 😌

Yeah so it’s interesting how fruit flies and other small insects probably, can just adapt to the temperature of their environment to such a radical degree that they change their size this much. It makes sense, a larger size means a bigger surface area but a proportionally way bigger internal volume of an object. Which is better for keeping heat in. When it’s already hot anyway, they can prioritize on being as small as possible since they aren’t predators

There's a life lesson here, i can just feel it

@@MoonDisast Plants are more resilient than animals?

It gives one hope that after we cook ourselves to death the planet will go right on living without us.

Why would you want fruit fly to live for a long time they are annoying

@@notakiller575 Are you a fruit fly?

nice idea

Yeah!!

great idea

Lovely idea.

Easy evolution scince the breeding rates of flys too! Great idea

I wonder if the plants were starved of CO2 initially and then bounced back as the animal population grew and made a steady stream available.

"life even in a jar" the scale for life has such a huge variety. for microorganisms little bugs are insanely huge then for mammals the same applies again. You could even make an experiment where you simulate the history of earth itself and how the development went from chemical to biological if we had the time and thousands of lifetimes.

You would basically be a god for the little world you govern.... maybe govern is the wrong word the only thing you do is setting the starting perimeters. I imagine this is what immortals or higher beings would do for boredom. Atleast i would if i neither would have a sense for time or a lifespan.

@@renegranit240 Observe will be more suitable for this.

Beautiful how life finds a way, I thought they where all going to die.

Fascinating

Could they be stentor caruleus?

@@ChiseledDiamond stentor don't swim like that no ? they seem to have their feet fixed on substrat , maybe I'm wrong ?

@@ChiseledDiamond Stentors in general would either be attached or free-swimming. The free-swimming ones would be in the water column and they'd be moving in a very smooth fashion, not jumpy like these and not next to the glass. S. coeruleus in particular would be a blueish color (that's what "coeruleus" means), not white.

Who said he stopped tending to his plant ? 😢😂🎉 there's a lot of plants in the jungle and if you wanted a big booty latina named mami seata she's in brazil with the cheese check the Brit first before you gaze the star when the toilet shakes jump a fart to zip it up and ship it if there's anymore to sell go at all costs the sea is rising so drink a mop water bucket out of the mcdonalds fountain

​@@NoahFense69 Good comment 👍

@@NoahFense69the fuck are you on abt🤣

​@@NoahFense69concerning

Would be cool to use magnetic charging for it

... ахахах.. я уверена, что так и будет)))

Why don’t you just do it yourself…

Good idea

Facts

was thinking about this same exact thing before i scrolled down to see the comments. I believe it would become covered in algae or slime by the time you would need to use it on the glass's walls, and probably just spread more haze around than clean anything. It might not and work fine though.

Those probably weren't fruit flies, but fungus gnats. Fungus gnats feed on mold, mildew, and other types of fungi. I have had quite a few of them feed on mildew from decaying soil or leaves from houseplants. Fruit flies need something sugary to eat, like fruit or soda.

@@Hope_IsNotMyName Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, these were probably fruit flies. I started looking into what fruit flies eat, other than stinky carbs. And different sources mentioned fruit flies like mold. - It still sounded suspicious, so I trapped some & took them to a friend who is an Entomologist. He said they were definitely fruit flies, & yep, they like mold. Now I wonder if your flies & my flies are the same species, but different subspecies. - All I know is I ended up learning more about fruit flies than I ever wanted to know. (And how difficult it is to completely get rid of mold!) Thanks, again. - M.A.D.

@@barkingmad50 oh okay, I didn't realize that, thanks for the information.

Wow that's really interesting
