Male and female Drosophila, uploaded by amybaeder.
…up close and personal and under a microscope. This is the only way that I like fruit flies–in the context of studying biology and not in my home. I took this through a microscope with my Blackberry Pearl phone camera. So it’s blurry, yeah, but I’m just glad it worked!
Today I took out our compost and was able to sex a fruitfly when it landed on a blackberry bush. It was a female. Ah, yeah!
