Title: Which liquids are the most attractive to flies?
Post by: Lewis Thomson on 27/01/2022 10:33:14
Charles has done an experiment but doesn't know why the results are the way they are.

"I leave
a) Diluted Robertsons Barley water
b) A mug of tea
c) A pot of coffee

Why do by far the greatest number of drosophila (flies) drown in the coffee (Black no sugar) ?
"

Can you help explain the results in the comments below.
