The Waxworm & the P. larvae

From 8-3-14.

Methods paper for rearing waxworms/moths in vitro from COLOSS.

Small clusters of waxworm eggs were discovered on the folded waxpaper from a container created on 8-3-14. Eggs were carefully teased apart and transferred to a 48 well plate using a camel hair paint brush and sharp forceps.

12 eggs were transferred to 2 uL of BAD
6 eggs were transferred to 5 uL of BAD
6 eggs were transferred to 10 uL of BAD

48 well plate was incubated at 35C in anaerobic chamber with ~90% humidity. I will monitor their progress daily.
