1. Why doesn't glue stick to the container it comes in and How do flys get into those lights on ceilings?

Glue doesn't stick to the inside because in order to dry, glue must lose its moisture, and it cannot while still inside of the bottle.  Leave the top off and the whole thing will dry out and get stuck\n\nFlies get inside of the lights because they aren't sealed air tight

they are actually bugzappers to get rid of unwanted bugs or flies in restaurants and stores. they have a heating metal rods around the blue colored fluorescent light. the light is to attract the bugs/flies and once they get near the light, they will be toasted by the heated metal rods/cage.

Justinyantis is correct.\nYou can test this for yourself by trying to grip something whilst wearing gloves (not rubber/latex).\nGeckos are able to climb walls and hang onto ceilings using much the same mechanism, though their ridges are finer and more numerous.

hello friend!\n\nuse a non-flexible thread. tie a simple knot first. roll the thread at the balloon stout for 3 times. then again tie a knot. again roll it for 3 times and then tie two knots. trust me! this would work! it wont leak a bit even if u leave it for a night!!!\nhappy fighting!!

They know which strands are the sticky ones and which aren't.  I think it's impossible for a spider to stick in its own web.\n\nhttp://arachnophiliac.co.uk/burrow/whydoesnt.htm

Take some paper,  put glue on it and sprinkle sugar on it and then put flies on it and put it up in your restaurant and it will look like your making progress.

"won't you come into my parlor?",said the spider to the fly. the tricky spider is pretty clever,isn't he? he knows the fly will be caught and he'll be able to scamper along and have himself a nice meal!\n       but if the sticky web clings to the fly and traps him,why doesn't it cling to the spider? the answer to this will surprise you. it does! a spider can be caught just as easily in his own web as a fly is.\n       the reason this doesn't happen is that the spider is "at home" in his own web. he knows his way around. and when the web was spun originally, the spider made sure that there would be "safe" threads to use, threads he could touch without sticking to them.\n      there are many kinds of silk that a spider produces. the sticky kind is used in the web to catch its prey. but there is also a non-sticky kind, and this is used to make the strong, supporting spokes of the web. the spider knows which is which, and he simply avoids the sticky ones! he can do this because he has a remarkable sense of touch.

many fluids have a bit of cohesive strength. their molecules stick together. we can really see this in slime. plasma tends to stick together. even better than water, which has hydrogen bonding to help make it cohesive. it's how water gets up the stem of a plant.

There isn't really much you can do to keep the wasps from building the nest in the first place.  If there is a sheltered overhang that provides an ideal nest site, then wasps will be attracted to that site.\n\nIf you remove or kill off a nest, as long as you get the queen, then that particular group of wasps is done.  They won't be building a new nest anywhere, since their reproductive potential is gone.  If one nest is removed and wasps are still building, then it is a totally new set of wasps moving in.\n\nGetting a nest early, when it is still small and the queen is still busy producing eggs that will become worker wasps is much easier than dealing with a large, mature nest.\n\nWith a small nest, one of the easiest ways to get rid of a nest is to burn it.  Simply hold a wad of paper with BBQ tongs, light the paper on fire and hold it under the nest.  The paper nest will burn quickly and cleanly.  Make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy in case the fire spreads though.\n\nThere are also a number of commercial products, such as wasp bombs and sprays that are very effective.  If you use them at night when all the workers are resting in the hive, they will be even more effective.  If you use a light to illuminate the hive during this operation, make sure it is placed on the ground or an object several feet away from any people.  If wasps exit the hive during the spraying, they will fly toward the light.  Anyone holding the flashlight is unlikely to find this a pleasant experience.\n\nOne of the bonuses with using the spray on a wasp nest is that the (now dead) nest is still physically intact.  This prevents any other wasps from using that site to build their nest.  That's probably the best way to deter wasps from returning to re-build a nest.

usually, a light source is set behind a cris-crossing of wire grids which have non-conductive material at the points that they cross each other.  the light then attracts insects such as moths, mosquitoes, etc, which will make the insect more than likely touch two or more of the wires (the grids are small), when they touch two of the wires, their body completes the circuit and the electricity flowing through their body kills them, and the electricity flows until you hear the "POP"!!!  =P  you can probably make one, but definitely might be unsafe, but if you do, good luck!

Because it the glue only sticks when the moisture evaporates once it gets exposed out of the bottle. as \nlong as it remains inside the botttle without poosibility of evaporation it will remain that way until applied.

because they are sticky

For many insects, pinning them with stainless steel pins and then placing the pins in foam to keep them upright works fairly well.  \n\nThey should be pinned soon after you collect them, before the insects dry out.  Dry insects have a tendency to shatter when you put the pin through them, and they often lose legs and antennae.\n\nLabels with identifications, collection area, collectors and dates are very important if you want to have a useful collection.  These are usually done in very very small printing on a tiny piece of card mounted underneath the insect on the same pin.\n\nMost groups are pinned just to the right of mid-line in the center of the thorax.\n\nVery small insects may have to be glued to a paper or plastic point, which is then mounted on one of the metal pins.\n\nIn the case of insects with very large abdomens, you may have to remove some of the guts, or inject them with a bit of formalin to keep them from rotting.\n\nSoft bodied insects don't pin very well, it's best to keep them in a vial filled with 70% ethanol.  This technique works well for many insects, but can leech the colours out of the specimens fairly quickly, so they're not as pretty to display, or can make them difficult to identify later.\n\nButterflies and moths should be pinned with their wings spread.  There are a number of techniques to doing this without damaging the wings.\n\nThis site has a pretty good introduction to the techniques of collection and mounting insects: http://sps.k12.ar.us/massengale/insect_collection.htm

Sugar cubes and white glue work pretty well... you end up with a white Alamo though instead of a brown one...

seen a video to the end - the fly indeed doesnt fly upside down , it just flies close to ceiling, then sticks its front legs in front of itself and "palms up" to touch the ceiling above head, then go the second and then third pairs of legs so the fly sits on the ceiling with head facing the oposite direction than when it was flying. \n\nJust as if it wanted to land on a wall , only it flips 180degrees and not just 90

I just want to know why this question is in THIS category? And I am sure glue doesn't stick to the inside of the bottle, if the lid is on tight, because air is kept out and it keeps it from drying. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. Who really cares anyway?
