Okay, so I made another experiment with d. hydei. What I have are what I intended to be normal cultures but it looks like they're going to be a really overpopulated cultures. Maggots are EVERYWHERE!

What you can do with this is make some media and add some maggots in there and wait until they become adult flies. I made these cultures 2 weeks ago so it takes a while to get to this point. This is great if you know you're going to get some mantises next week or your mantises are outgrowing d. melanogaster ("smaller" fruit flies).

$15.00 shipped USPS Priority Mail (USA only)

No international for now. I don't know what customs would think/do if they see all the maggots.

By the way, these cultures are in 500ml water bottles with a screen cap. About 1/2 inch on the bottom is the medium (might look less after it gets shaken up by USPS).

Okay, I forgot to add that they're flightless.

Also, last shipment possible is Thursday (so order by Wednesday) because I'm gone by Friday!
