1/2 cup of stuff? what is the stuff? and what is that stringy stuff called? do you need some fruit flies to get a colony started? or do they just appear from the stuff? how long does it take for hundreds to appear? and how long do they live for?

@adrewk i just go to josh'sfrogs.com and buy the fruit fly breeding kit. then follow the directions on the video... um it takes about 2 weeks for about ahundred or so flies to get in there. and yeah you have to already have a coolony to breed then you just put about 10 in an empty cup and they breed.

@adamh3212 you mean that i put in the cup? no. i put too little it should be enough that it all looks damp.
