OH DROSOPHILIA. We worked with them for a long time in AP Bio of course, but that's only because we never did any experiments quite the right way and so we had to do it over and over again. I liked looking at them but the freaking FlyNap was gross. How do you stand it? T_T Or do you use something else?

D'you mean that MyGuests crap? You can turn it off of course. Probably most everyone will turn it off, which makes the feature entirely useless and reveals what a stupid concept it was from the beginning. HAH.

haha love the usage of scientific name. i have no idea what the fly nap is? is it something you used to knock them out?

haha yea. i turned it on then off and now im not sure what my current setting is. but yea definitely an idea that failed at the start.

Oh, well... FlyNap must be just the commercialized/kiddie/high school version of what is essentially anesthesia, LOL.

hahah i don't know about kiddy. our CO2 pad that knocks 'em out is called a FlowBuddy.

o_O I just googled that and it sounds really complicated, haha. FlyNap is ... basically a nauseating chemical you expose to the flies and then you only have twenty minutes before they wake up. Ugh not so good times.

hahaha lmao. that sounds like it could really be potentially traumatizing.
