Vegemite is not green, it's a very dark brown...it is not from Europe but Australia and for those with an educated palate (Australians) it is delicious on toast.

It's also made from centrifugally killed yeast cells- sounds tasty?

Thanks for tuning up this Instructable. I'm not sure I know what Vegemite is but I'm glad there's a picture. Now I know what to look for.

Vegemite is a nasty green paste from Europe that they claim is edible.

Chuck44, Vegemite is an AUSTRALIAN ONLY edible product, It is NOT nasty at all, please do your research before you make comments you have no idea about.

One drop of dish soap will lower the surface tension of the water and ensure the flies drown.

Could you please reshoot your pictures. I can't tell what I'm looking at. I can see a Phillips head screw head in step 3, but I can't tell where the screw is. Or what part of the bottle I'm looking at. I can't identify anything but the sky in the last picture (step 4). Is the picture right-side-up? Does a piece of banana or orange peel work as well as the chemical attractant? They sure seem to work in my house.
