Fruit Flies of invaded my kitchen. I could supply a lab with enough Drosophila melanogaster to do several counts on wings and color of the little pests. I have cleaned and scrubbed and moved things looking for what they are feeding off of. For the last week I have had no food sitting on the counter. That means bananas. Therefore, I have not been having my smoothie of the day. I like the creaminess that a banana offers and I don't like them frozen in my smoothie. Yes, I am picky about my bananas. In case you were wondering, I also don't like them under-ripe or over-ripe. There is a limited optimal window of banana to smoothie use.
I think I have the fruit flies under control now. I have a dish wrapped in plastic wrap, in the dish is a small piece of tomato sitting in balsamic vinegar. I poked a few holes in the plastic wrap. The flies go in, but don't come out! When the weather turns chillier (it isn't that far away) I will bring the bananas back onto the counter and SOTD will continue.
