The "Tent Trap" http://www.dipter...ad_id=6264 continues to catch dozens of insects daily in my suburban garden. Most insects appear to be trying to find a way out but the Scathophagids appear to have set-up home in the trap. They seem "happy" mating and catching flies - all I need now is to add some dung!
