Baiting for photos

So, I don't normally bait -- I look, chase and take my lumps if they fly away. But sometimes I'd like someone to stick around (no pun intended). Anyone have ideas for a good, temporary bait that won't wreck a photo? I know it's probably family specific... just trolling for ideas ;)

baiting for photos
Many books on general entomology will discuss "sugaring" as a technique for attracting a variety of insects. If you cannot find anything on it please contact me. Good luck. Tim (tpgatschet240@gmail.com)
