trapped in a jar



 i woke up this morning and found this in my kitchen !!!

what the heck?!?


then i remembered my daughter had mentioned that she had read somewhere 
or heard from someone about a great solution for all the fruit flies that have been 
swarming around any unrefrigerated fruit around the house.


OMG... it's brilliant.
it looks like she placed a banana peal and a piece of apple in a mason jar 
then covered it with heavy plastic (she used a sandwich bag) 
and sealed it with an elastic band.
finally, she punctured a few holes on top.


 i wish you could see all the fruit flies trapped inside the jar.
50 down...only 100,000 to go !!!

never the less... it was a beautiful surprise to wake up to.
hope your  monday starts just as wonderful.
