#fruit fly

[wolf-pearl]

Ok so I'm taking a genetics class right now and in lab we've been given fruit flies with different mutations that we need to breed over the course of the semester.

Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.

Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.

And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.

Anyways, I've been calling them my yeast crawls and I am their god now.

A new fellow to add to the collection. Professor Melano is an ambitious inventor taking the form of a fruit fly. He lives in the dump and builds his machines out of whatever trash and scrap metal he can get his tiny little hands on.

yesterday i actually had the urge to draw for once so here's some doodles as well as yet another attempt to figure out how to draw my own damn face

#no the drawing of me TOTALLY wasnt me wanting to mess with my style after binging on skeletoninthemelonland's art last night wdyMMMMM 🤭 #anyways im really happy with that fly we LOOOVE drosophila melanogaster xoxoxo #drew those doodles during my last genetics class :'( thank god i still have my genetics research internship thing w/ her #buzzart #doodles #sketches #self art #drosophila #drosophila melanogaster #fruit fly #fish #spineless stickleback #mangle #the mangle #fnaf #fnaf fanart

Invertober day 11, the Fruit Fly. I am very behind :'/

The iconic bug of food left out on a table for too long, and for scientific studies. Scientists like to do weird things to these guys, like make them alcoholics for some reason. They are a staple in the genetic research department and I think they are cool.

@vesper-potato submitted: Have this weird fly gal that’s been twerking eggs into the backyard gourds in uhh…is Borneo an adequate location for you?

and this big wasp half heartedly hanging around the cockscomb flowers

No id needed for the dragonfly, just here to be admired

I am admiring all of them! Yes, Borneo is good enough for a location. The first fella is a kind of fruit fly, but I can’t say exactly which species. Maybe the genus Sophira. And the second woman looks like a potter wasp of some kind!

The longer I live on this earth and the longer I spend in my genetics class, the more I think bug scientists are honestly right. These lil guys are so stupid and I love them so much.

Look at these little guys.

They're so small. They have such big, dumb, inocent eyes. They don't know that there's thousands of beings so much larger than they could ever comprehend who all think these lil flies are fantastic. They don't even know.

.... wait I was trying to write a post about cool things I've learned about these guys uuuHH-
