In our research for ever more interesting facts and factoids to keep techRivet's vast readership entertained we dug up this little gem.

Pretty cool huh.  Apparently the graphic is from Esquire magazine from a few years ago.

This is pretty interesting for a couple of reasons.

  1. I've done something similar to this as a child.  My friends and I used to catch bumble bees and tie them to a string and go around with them flying on a leash.  It's pretty cool.
  2. At one point we had a pet spider.  Not one of the fancy dancy store bought models but one like this:gertrude Well she lived for more than two years in a little terrerium and we fed her spiders that we had at first frozen and then dropped inside her cage where they woke up and were eaten.  It was gruesome and my daughter, the bug collector, thought it was awesome.
  3. Oh I've also taught my nephews how to catch and "fly" your own bees.

So I wanted to see if there was a more definitive site out there regarding how to freeze and fly your own flies or bees.

Low and behold there is:
Flypower - These guys want to sell you a kit.
