Description

What species of fruit flies can I culture in these cups? You can use these cups for popular species like Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila hydei, as well as other small fly or microinsect cultures. Are the cups and lids reusable? Yes, both the cups and vented fabric lids can be washed and reused for multiple culture cycles if properly cleaned and sanitized between uses. How do the vented lids help my fruit fly cultures? The fabric-vented lids provide excellent airflow, reduce mold, and prevent mites or contaminants, while keeping even the tiniest flies from escaping. How many flies can each cup support? Each 32 oz cup can support a standard starter culture or an established colony of several hundred adult fruit flies, depending on species and conditions. How do I prevent mold and mites in my cultures? Keep cultures in a well-ventilated area, avoid over-moistening the media, and use the vented lids provided to reduce contamination risks. As a wildlife biologist and founder of Snout and Shell, I know the importance of clean, reliable supplies for raising healthy insect cultures. Our deli cups are made from food-safe materials with vented lids—no fillers, dyes, or harsh chemicals. Each cup is designed for easy use, safe observation, and optimal airflow to support strong, thriving fruit fly colonies. Proudly small-batch, woman-owned, and U.S. made—because your cultures deserve the best.

  • Perfect!
Purchased these to make my own fruit fly cultures. They arrived quickly and are just as described. Made a culture the day they arrived. And the fly’s are thriving! They are exactly what I needed for this. Now I can raise my own food for my spiders… and save some money!

  • Perfect Fruit fly homes
Fruit fly culture perfection! Tons of room for large colonies The cups get flimsy if you’re pouring hot medium in them but if you cool them before popping the lid on, they’re sturdy

  • THE LIDS DONT FIT.. aaand all your flies end up escaping. Dont bother buying
Unfortunately, I had made the fly cultures before test fitting the lids. Something I didn't think I had to do, however as you can predict, the flies just ended up escaping if I didn't have any weight on top of the lid to try to create some semblance of a seal. On top of that, the mesh fabric on some lids end up peeling away in the presence of a stiff breeze. Poor quality, poor construction, don't waste your money. ... show more

  • Okay for the money.
These cups work as intended. I have ordered these a couple times now and it is the same. The lids are the biggest issue. I put hot water in them when making fly cultures and the plastic becomes soft and when you are hurrying to close the container once the flightless fruit flies are inside the lid does not go on easily. During the process the containers will buckle and the some flies may escape. But after a few feedings the lid becomes easier to secure. ... show more
