I bought these to replace mesh and an elastic band covering a gallon jar for sprouting. I wish I had done this sooner. These are great. I also found another use for them by accident. I was using the green lid on a batch of alfalfa sprouts and nearby ripened bananas attracted fruit flies which in turn attached themselves to the green lid. I found that curious because fruit flies are not normally attracted to sprouts. I changed the lid to the blue one and washed the green lid and left it on the counter. The fruit flies were not interested in the blue lid at all. They went back to the green lid. As a test, I added some apple cider vinegar and a dash of dish soap to a small mason jar and attached the green lid. The fruit flies returned to the green lid and have now disappeared completely from my kitchen. They were on the lid but ventured down the centre opening and ended up in the vinegar. The green lid makes a great fruit fly trap!
