Flies: can they eat too much?

[blutenstaub]

They like to eat them off the sticky traps I post up around the compost. I think I have about eight traps going at any one time, and they really fill up. This isn't even all the flies I catch in a day.

I also have some bottle traps, but I figure fermented flies is not what people are talking about when they say fermented feed......

I would worry about them eating whatever the sticky stuff is more than anything

Well, considering the trap ends up with a bunch of heads and legs after they clean it off, I'm pretty sure they're not getting much glue.
