Apologies to anyone who isn't fond of bugs..
The trap is shaped like a little red apple - approx. 2.25" diameter - and seems fairly effective. I used the supplied liquid in one but followed a hunch based on the smell (later backed up by a little online searching) and put apple cider vinegar - with a few drops of dish detergent to break the surface tension - in the other. My homemade liquid seems to work just about as well as the commercial one, so I'll just keep using the containers. We have a whole bottle of apple cider vinegar... :)
The liquid that came with the kits says it's enough for 90 days - the instructions say to use half the bottle in each apple, and that's supposed to last for 45 days. BUT...it's evaporating very quickly. I've nearly used up the bottle keeping ONE trap supplied for a week.

Spectra wears DOTD Lagoona shoes. I adore these, they are up in my top 5 MH shoes. So pretty. Impossible to stand in tho.
This shot shows the translucent nature of Volucella pellucen's ivory-white second tergite, and also the large dark spots on its wings! The translucent ivory-white second tergite rise to the common name for this hoverfly, the Pellucid Fly, as pellucid means translucently clear!
Post-larval convict tang spend just a few days in this translucent phase after finding a home, assuming normal coloration soon after.
For some reason this image reminds of...

These lovely translucent lemon flowers were found in our friends cacti garden.What a collection she has.!!!
This is the result of a failed experiment. My goal was to remove the eggshell of a small quail egg by dissolving it in acid (coffee machine descaling agent). The idea was to backlight the resulting naked egg, and see the yolk suspended in the translucent white. I think what happened was that my soaking stage was too long, so the shell was dissolved and dissapeared, but the acid coagulated the white, making it rather opaque. You can barely make out the yolk in this picture, but oh well, translucence is there! Science is hard....
