You can use a basic jar, a food storage container, or even a small cardboard box to house your fly. However, a clear container is probably better so you can see your fly! Whatever container you choose, you will need to drill or poke small holes in the top. They should be just large enough to allow air in but not so large they let the fly out. Make sure the container is dry. Alternatively, cut a larger hole for air and then cover it with tissue paper, taped down around the edges, which will still allow air to pass through without letting the fly out. You will need to feed your fly through this hole so it doesn't get out. Draw around the straw or syringe, then make the hole big enough for it to go through. Tape over the hole when you're done. Alternatively, plug it up with a small eraser or even silly putty. You can use soda caps, milk bottle caps, or even small pickle jar lids. You just need something to hold the food and water that you put in the container for your container, and lids are a good size. Flies like to rest at night. Generally, they'll rest on grass leaves, wires, twigs, and whatever else they can find. Lean a few dry grass leaves across the inside of your jar or add a few twigs instead. from your house. Wait for a fly to land on the counter or a flat surface and then use an upside-down cup to trap it. You have to be quick to catch one! Slide a piece of paper underneath the cup and lift it up with the cup to carry it to your container. Set the cup over the container with just enough of the container opened to match the cup's mouth and then pull the paper out. The fly should drop into the container. Quickly place the lid on to capture the fly. Flies prefer temperatures of 95 to 105F (35 to 41C), particularly at night, when they're resting. Choose an area that's warm to hot. You could even provide a heating pad or dark heat lamp to help keep your fly warm. However, while flies prefer warmer temperatures, they'll do just fine in temperatures down to about 68F (20C). At 59F (15C), they'll stop most activity.
