Omg fly fest!

I have no idea whats going on here, I open my garage for a few hours I come back and my growchamber is crawling with flys and they're all trying to get in!

I took some picture, I tryed to scare them away then ten minutes later they're trying to get back in. I take this as a sign my babies are hungry?

Niiice albos! What is that big red pitchered nepenthes in the bottom of the last photo? Are you the same one who posted the pic of flies in his chamber several months ago

? Looks like you got enough neps in there to take on an army of them, so let 'em in

No I'm not the same person who posted the pic of teh flys in the chamber a few months back, but when I saw this I thought of that and immedity ran to get my camera. The largish one on the bottom is a N. merilliana.


I did let them in actually. I opened my chamber and about 20 flies flew in there. hehe..
 
Wow
which one got the most then?i think we need to see a few close up shots of the albo,s and the Merrilliana

Is that because the flies response to heat from your growchamber?

I was checking today and I saw four in one merriliana pictcher, two that I could see in another merriliana. I also saw one in my red albo. And about 3 in one of the larger raff pitchers. I think my miranda has some too but I'm not sure as I couldn't look in the pitcher. But when the flys were in there I saw them gathering on its peristome.


I was thinking that the flys like the heat of the chamber as well. But the garge was rather hot too since i keep all my reef tank chiller (1.5 horsepower) and MH ballasts (two 400watt two 150watt) in the garage. So I'm not sure. How much hotter do flys like it?

If you hear a voice saying "GET OUT" you might want to move. (lets see how many of you get that)
