hey, its the dumbass that trapped the fly

Bug Keeping

im back

I identified the fly as a cluster fly and have kept it overnight. Last night when I made my post asking what to do with it, it was freezing out and there were higher winds than I think that the clumsy flies could withstand. I kept it overnight in a dim and cool lil spot and now he is sleeping. I made sure to check that he's okay, he moves a little when I tap the container. Lmk if you notice anything wrong with him, I'm doing this for u/bbrainwashedd. If I should release him today(it's warmer out and the wind advisory is no longer in effect) please let me know. I was being kinda stupid last night so thats on me lol if u didn't see I caught a fly and said [HELP I TRAPPED THIS FLY AND IDK WHAT TO DO : r/insects](https://www.reddit.com/r/insects/comments/1pqvaqw/comment/nuyaxx2/?context=3) and then got flamed

ye
