circle of life

last summer i was having some leg cramps, so i bought a few bananas.

i have not yet figured out how NOT to have a fruit fly infestation if i have fresh fruit on my counters, and you KNOW you can't stick banananananas in the fridge.

you can either get all upset about sharing you space with the drosophilae, or you can enjoy observing their life cycles.

you just know which attitude i took.

of course you do.

because science.

maggots!

no, they don't eat much. yes, i put out traps. yes, they're gone now.

you're welcome.

I read recently that you actually CAN put bananas in the refrigerator. Their skins will turn dark, but the inside will be fine and they last a few days longer that way. That's what I read, anyway. I have yet to try it out for myself.

September might as well be re-named Fruit Fly Month at Blackrock, thanks to the crazy quantities of tomatoes, peaches, pears, apples, and everything else that breeds fruit flies.
