Your own colony of drosophilas?

Now, this is tempting.. Ebay has a variety of drosophila cultures ready to be shipped to your home. You can choose from wingless or flightless, and the best part is, they're 100% Natural and HUGE!

They have underdeveloped wings and instead of flying they jump about 1/2 of an inch. Who would feed these to their reptiles? They would be great to watch jumping about on the kitchen table.

Though, I'm a bit concerned about the whole "essentially gut-loaded with the absolute best quality stuff possible" and "(Not Lab Flies), 100% Natural". How did they manage to reduce the wing size without using scientific methods?

Useless Poll

I've now published a poll here on the blog, so now's your opportunity to say what you really think about those braindead, freaky flies.

This goes out to The League of Drophosila. A reaction to The One We Never Made.

The One We Never Made

This one was found inside the lining of my jacket one afternoon. No name, no clues, just an anonymous mash-up of the previous 6 cartoons. It's cool that someone bothered to make this, but it's been ages, and we still don't know who it is. Come on, every mystery should be solved!

Velkommen til The Adventures of Drosophila - the Blog

Etter diverse uenigheter med Facebooks ordning av bilder har jeg bestemt meg for å dedikere en blogg til den lille bananfluen Drosophila. Her vil vi legge ut seriene på en oversiktlig måte, og det vil også være muligheter for et lite molekylærbiologisk innlegg i ny og ne.
