We’ve had extra people in the house this week (my sister’s family) which means extra food, including fruit. And with the heat & humidity, we’ve had to take measures.
I call this photo “Still Life with Fruit Fly Trap.”

Hey, we have a fruit fly problem: I should try your trick! What’s in the bowl?
Fruit juice, water, and dish soap. The flies are attracted to the fruit juice and land on the water. Since there’s no surface tension due to the soap), they sink and drown. I added some agave nectar to this one for added attraction.
