[12:17 AM, 8/13/2021] Seethalakshmy CUBE: Size :2.3-3mm
Non- clubbed antenna.
the black crazy ant,
like other crazy ants, gets its name from its very fast, erratic movement when disturbed. This ant is very hairy and has very long legs and antennae

[8:47 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: Fantastic! So, many fruits & vegetables attract them. Can we make a list of what all attract Fruitflies at our homes? Can we first make a list of possible items that attract Fruitflies and then, verify it.
Please start, now. @Janhvi Deshmukh
[8:47 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: Is it fresh Bittergourd or partially rotten once?

[8:48 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: Not clear! What do you mean by " my culture ant"?
What do you mean by Black Ant?
Are all “Black ants” of the same?
Can you make it more clear?
How many different species of " Black ants" are reported?
Which species of Black ants you think you have in your Formicarium? @Seethalakshmy CUBE
Which are the other type of Black ants?

Please tell us what happened to these flies?
When you subculture them? Then what happened? @Aswathy Suresh CUBE
[9:23 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: How long before the microbial growth spoilt the culture? @Batul Pipewala Kolkata
[9:23 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: Don’t we have a theoretical prediction, than trial & error that tells us, what concentration of vinegar prevents microbial growth that interferes with Namatode maintenance @Batul Pipewala Kolkata
Can mere Trial & Error be called Scientific methodology?
What is the scientific basis of “two drops of vinegar”?
What exactly vinegar do in cultures? @Batul Pipewala Kolkata

[9:33 AM, 8/13/2021] Lydia cUBe Drosphila: What does this box contain? And how do you know it’s a housefly?
[9:36 AM, 8/13/2021] Lydia cUBe Drosphila: True! Very beautiful!
How did you identify this butterfly as a short banded sailer butterfly??
[9:59 AM, 8/13/2021] Lydia cUBe Drosphila: What could be the reason @Aswathy Suresh CUBE? What do you think? Did you try to figure out what could’ve gone wrong with your culture?
[10:02 AM, 8/13/2021] Lydia cUBe Drosphila: This is a serious situation
You can’t lose any flies that you’ve cultured for so long!
What’s your plan now? How are you planning to revive or get your cultures back again?
[10:03 AM, 8/13/2021] Janhvi Deshmukh: Yes from some days I see fruitfly attractred some fruits some vegetables some dishes …I seen cucumber , Onion,lemon , bittergourd, tomato,banana, Ginger and do a dish like capati ,rice etc …in my homelab.

And how will you observe the life cycle of cardamine plants? What are the different stages?
[10:22 AM, 8/13/2021] Sunita Chahar CUBE: Axillary bud proliferation is some mechanism to increase biodiversity.
[10:22 AM, 8/13/2021] Sunita Chahar CUBE: Its a very good observation!!
[11:00 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: What is your plan to trap and culture Fruitflies? @Janhvi Deshmukh
Please give a detail Design, stepwise.
[11:00 AM, 8/13/2021] Arunan HBSCE: Do you think curry leaf leaflet shows bud at the junction, as shown in the photo? Is that not strange? @Sunita Chahar CUBE
What is the difference between leaflet and leaves? Or, between simple leaf and compound leaf? @Sunita Chahar CUBE
[11:25 AM, 8/13/2021] Aswathy Suresh CUBE: •This time I followed standard protocol of TRSV media.
•In TRSV media while making added smashed tomato pieces.
(last time added tomato paste, it became liquefy very fast)
•I make sure while flies transferring time media bottle have any water condensation in 3 bottles.
[11:27 AM, 8/13/2021] Sidhy Kerala Drosophila: Thank you Sir
Further plan is to make TRSV medium and start single line cultures.
Immediate objective :
Make single line cultures of fruit flies.
Short term objectives :
1.Family level identification.
2. Conduct experiments based on observations and hypothesis.
3. Understand the life span of fruit fly.
4. Find reliable references for the works on fruit flies.
Long term objectives :
1.Genus and Species level identification.
2. Olfactory sensitivity test.
Collaborating with fruit fly model system group.
[11:35 AM, 8/13/2021] Sidhy Kerala Drosophila: Put banana pieces in two bottles . Banana pieces dipped in vinegar. Hope that will prevent fungal growth. Kept the bottles open in the kitchen. When fruit flies entered , closed the bottles using newspaper and rubber band / thread. Put small holes on it.
In one bottle , there is an ant along with the fruit flies.
[11:39 AM, 8/13/2021] Aswathy Suresh CUBE: Expectations :

[11:46 AM, 8/13/2021] Yash Sheregare CUBE: @Sidhy Kerala Drosophila
How are you planning to make a single line culture ?
Are you going to transfer trapped fruit fly in the medium that you will make?
@Aswathy Suresh CUBE @Janhvi Deshmukh @Lydia cUBe Drosphila
[11:47 AM, 8/13/2021] Aswathy Suresh CUBE: Yes sir, I made the all bottle media which I made on 18.07.2021 at the same day and at the same time. That time media making I made a change that I added tomato pasted while cooking media for to get Uniform color in all media bottles.
Microbial growth maybe not much possible on 3days old bottle I think sir.
[11:49 AM, 8/13/2021] Yash Sheregare CUBE: @Aswathy Suresh CUBE Let’s expect some visible larvae in 2 days!
If not then what can be done?
Can we mate a male fly from other culture of C or B line with this Gravid Looking like fly?
Will it be then called a SLBk-A/B or A/C culture?
@Lydia cUBe Drosphila @Janhvi Deshmukh @Arunan HBSCE sir @Batul Pipewala Kolkata maam @Isha Pawle @KIRAN CUBE maam
[11:49 AM, 8/13/2021] Aswathy Suresh CUBE: This was happened in all 4 single line culture bottles at that time. But it was observed on 3 rd day of culture after that I didn’t observed these bubble formation.
Now can’t able seen any bubble formation in those media bottles.

PHOTO BY YASH
I think because the media now is liquidy and flies have less place to walk and even feed,
they died due to liquid part of the medium…
They are seen at the bottom of the medium on the surface…
Here is a picture of the SLPbA1 media showing bottom surface!

As per the details provided here,
You transferred one gravid fly on 24/7/2021. Today is 13/8/21. It’s not even a month! So I don’t think the flies are too old to die. What do you think?

Any reference?
What is the size of the bottle? Looks like it is a very small bottle.
Did you choose it deliberately? @Sidhy Kerala Drosophila
