Sweet baits(sugar baits) are widely used by collectors of Lepidoptera to attract moths and butterflies to a site where they may be captured... The ingredients used, although varied, include sugar and sugar-rich materials, as well as fruits and alcoholic beverages. It is thought that the attraction and feeding of moths on artificial sugar baits is an indication of their tendency to feed on natural sources of sugars, such as rotting fruit, tree sap, insect honeydew, and flower nectars... 2, record 1, English, - sweet%20bait

L'origami est un art japonais millénaire du papier plié. Il fut d'abord un agréable loisir à la cour de l'empereur du Japon puis, au fil des siècles, il se répandit dans tout le pays. Activité populaire toujours vivante et très aimée par les petits comme par les grands, l'origami est devenu maintenant un art international. [...] Voici quelques éléments pour réaliser un origami : -disposer d'une surface plane pour le pliage; -calculer précisément le format du papier à plier et découper proprement; -exécuter proprement les pliures (les renforcer avec l'ongle); -se conformer exactement à l'ordre des différentes étapes d'exécution. Chacune dépend de la précédente et détermine la suivante. 2, record 4, French, - origami
