Oriental fruit flies sent to lab and cultivated by large transparent box to avoid oriental fruit flies flying out.
We used both of centrifuge tube and feeding box to feed oriental fruit flies for comparing and ensuring the status of oriental fruit flies that established the independent space for observing oriental fruit flies.
B. dorsalis started to break through the cocoon. We conducted to put B. dorsalis to centrifuge tubes, avoiding the feeding box cannot load all oriental fruit flies. We poured the special agar to centrifuge tubes, and put centrifuges into entrance to catch oriental fruit flies. Then we sealed the centrifuge tubes by cotton.
(The team members put agar into centrifuge tubes which would be their feed.)
(The left picture is that oriental fruit flies broke through cocoon; the right picture is the feeding box & centrifuge tubes where fed oriental fruit flies.)
First time to Conducting Experiment 1
Changing the centrifuge tubes where oriental fruit flies lived. (Avoid the environment being mess.) /p>
Changing the centrifuge tubes where oriental fruit flies lived.
The oriental fruit flies in centrifuge tubes are dead quickly, so we conducted trouble shooting and sent the mail to professors who research oriental fruit flies.
We took the trap to Beitou orchard to try to catch oriental fruit flies.
Searching the store selling the silkworm for extracting hemolymph which is used to induce pMcl1.
Visiting two farmers working in the orchard to ask the information about oriental fruit flies in the nature environment, and installing the trap of catching oriental fruit flies.
(Left picture: the team member install the trap; Right picture: the farmer and our team member took a picture)
Sent the mail to researchers to ask for making public the content of the mail.
