• frozen banana mash? keeping leps in fresh relaxed state for longer peri

    Quick question here. I use banana mash to attract certain leps to bait
    traps. In order to save money, I was thinking about obtaining the fruit
    ahead of time, mixing in the sugar and water, and then immediately
    freezing it until I need it. One thawed, the fermentation process would
    start. I know someone who does this, but I'm not sure if it can be done
    with exclusively bananas. My understand is that, once bananas are
    frozen, they never ripen further after that once thawed which would
    defeat the purpose of banana mash. I would welcome any thoughts here.

    Another question has to do with keeping fresh leps in a relaxed state
    for longer. I never have liked the process of keeping them stored and presumably dried in glassine envelopes until ready to mount and then
    relaxing them. I prefer to mount them fresh, but lately I haven't had
    the time and I have been collecting a large number of leps. I will be
    able to get to them within the next 2-3 days, but not now. What's a
    good way that I can keep them relaxed until then?

    Thank you,
    Larz
