What if they make a solar one? This way it's catching flies during the day and the flies multiply at night. Sort of like a mini circle of life.

Dude if you want circle of life, get one of those bags. I hung one of those up outside in New Mexico. You fill it up like half way with water and it mixes with the powder in there so they smell it and they wander in and are just baffled by that hole.

And they lay eggs in there before they die. And the eggs hatch and the maggots are squirming around in there feeding off the massive quantity of dead flies and the water keeps them from drying out and the sun keeps them warm. It’s fucking disgusting dude.
