As this topic might be over with, let me add that you should avoid placing=
the Telinga with its opening down on grass, for example. Even in full
sunshine, when it seems dry everywhere, you get a "plant-house" effect
inside the dish. A few times I have replaced capsules with a green-white
mold-like stuff in them, and I suspect that storing the dish facing down
that way can start such a growth.
And I am very happy about all this praising, of course. Thank you. Cannot
comment more on it.
