      <image:caption>Here's Elmer Gray explaining the rearing setup. The larvae of black flies develop in fast moving water, which they recreate indoors with these ingenious water pump setups. When the adult flies are ready to start emerging the whole tank is covered with a tarp with a tube at the top to collect them.</image:caption>
