Fruit Fly Giant Microbe®, Original
Add some fun to your study of genetics with this perfect laboratory mascot! Take an even closer look at the specimens that are widely used to study genetics and disease inheritance.
Giant Microbes® are based on actual microbes, cells, organisms and other critters, only 1,000,000 times actual size! Each microbe includes a card with fun, educational and fascinating facts about the actual microbe or cell.
Painted Lady Caterpillars
A classic! Painted ladies (Vanessa cardui) undergo complete metamor- phosis from caterpillar to butterfly over the course of several weeks. These beautiful butterflies are one of the most widely distributed species in the world. Shipped with food and complete care instructions. Organisms raised in the lab should not be released into the wild. A state permit is required to ship to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. ★MAINTENANCE: Maintain caterpillars on the food they are shipped with. Adult butterflies can be kept in a net house away from direct sunlight. Contact us for a free care guide with detailed instructions on the care of adult butterflies.
Earthworms
An animal that everyone has seen but may not know much about. Members of the phylum Annelida—the segmented worms. The common earthworm (Lumbricus sp.) is a vital component of moist soil ecosystems, aerating and enriching enormous quantities of material annually. Earthworms can be used as food for amphibians and reptiles and as participants in various behavioral studies.
★MAINTENANCE: Easy to culture and maintain although they must be kept relatively cool (temperatures much over 15 °C should be avoided). Normally shipped in a wax- lined box, earthworms may require special shipping and handling requirements during extreme weather.
Lumbriculus variegatus
Easy to culture and easy to see, this aquatic oligochaete worm makes a very versatile experimental animal. Culture this worm and use it throughout the academic year for multiple studies. The nearly transpar- ent worm has distinct segmented parts—and an especially prominent dorsal blood vessel which pumps like a heart. Chemical effects on the pulsating blood vessel are easily observed and timed. This is an ideal organism for studies of behavior, locomotion, regeneration, and drug studies. Comes with background and culturing information. Class size of 30.
