Default Fruit Fly Culture Contained Within Vivarium?

I've heard of people having living/growing/producing fruit fly cultures *inside* their dart frog vivs. Basically, a FF culture, surrounded in some sort of plastic netting, nestled in the corner(s) of the viv. Does anyone here do that? (long shot, I know...I've been lurking for a bit and have not heard mention of such a thing) If so, explanation of setup and maybe pics of a successful colony?

probably not... it can be stinky and messy.

And most likely difficult to sustain... There are other bugs that you can culture inside the vive that are easier... Springtails and isopods being two of them.
