Just a quickie for Norm Frampton’s photo prompt, Thursday Doors. I’m looking for suggestions on what this might be all about. It’s been there for weeks.
It’s empty apart from the clear liquid – the darkness inside is just a reflection.
Guesses?

We do this here in Appalachia. In the summer we get really bad drain flies (gnats) we take a plastic bag fill it with water add a few pennies and hang it over the kitchen sink. Believe it or not, it works. I heard it makes the bugs think it’s a bird (predator) eye. Restaurants and stores do it too here. I think that might be what this is in the picture.

What does it do? I’m having a horrible time with fruit/drain flies at the moment.
By the way, I checked today and the one in the picture does have a coin in it. 🙂

I don’t have a clue but Hugh’s answer looks the most likely! 🙂

If you haven’t seen anyone going in or out, maybe it’s a human repellent, put up by the bugs. Seems to work 🙂

Okay well that is weird. If it is a bug repellent, then this is the first time I’ve heard of it.

I had heard of this before – apparently a fly repellent – bags of water with four pennies. I have no idea if it works.

Here’s the answer, Linda. Does the bag have any coins in it?

Wow! I wonder if it would keep the mosquitoes out. Thanks for this, Hugh! 🙂

a good luck charm, a blessing on the house, ward off evil spirits. …. any idea of the ethnic background of the inhabitants?

Not a clue. I haven’t seen anyone go in or out. Good ideas though. You could be right. 🙂

Ooooh, could be! Though it seems to have more to do with bugs, according to the other comments. Interesting stuff!
