  I have as much fun with feeders as I do with mantids....

Can't wait for my ootheca to hatch, but I keep wanting to pile up different genetic variants of my fruit flies for fun.

Here is a cup with some special E1 media I made at 21 days.  Larvae everywhere.

My flies are looking sad though Serle, because of the holidays I had to resort to using Coffee filters for substrate in the cups. :D  Look at their fat belly's on my Enriched formula!

hy Randy , you really don't have substrate in a drosophila culture , just food at the bottom and a perch above for the flies to sit & breed. . I like excelsior because it is clean , bio-degradable and free . ( I get it from my local liquor store )   Beautiful looking culture you have ......... S
