The way animals and plants behave is so complicated because it not only depends on climate, water availability, competition for resources, nutrients available, and disease presence but also having the patience and ability to study them close-up.


We’re going to build an eco-system where you’ll farm prey stock for the predators so you’ll be able to view their behavior. You’ll also get a chance to watch both of them feed, hatch, molt, and more! You’ll observe closely the two different organisms and learn all about the way they live, eat, and are eaten.

  1. Both the flies and their larvae will each the fruit that you use as bait. The fruit you put in the three trays will last quite a while, so there is no need to add more food. In fact, it is best to keep the trap sealed so the flies don’t escape.

  2. Do I have to feed the flies? ( From the video ECO COLUMN )
