Are the flies actually inside a magnifying glass type thing? I've seen something similar, without the fly of course, that was for lighting a pipe. You'd use the magnifying glass to focus sunlight to light the pipe and the other end was for tamping it down.

Yes, the flies are sandwiched between two pieces of glass. They don't magnify, straight glass pieces. Jerry
