#714 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/714 Presented By:  TroutRoutes, Grand Teton Fly Fishing, Four Wheel Campers Jeff Parks, Ontario fly guide and New Fly Fisher host, will break down tight line nymphing for steelhead. We'll discuss his setup and how he guides the fly to fish. Plus, he'll share his four most important tips for tight line nymphing for steelhead.  You'll learn how to find fish in holding water and his views on fishing pressure. He actually likes pressure and will explain why his techniques work better with more people. Let's get into it with Jeff Parks from Calmwaters Fly Fishing.  Show Notes with Jeff Parks on Tight Line Nymphing for Steelhead.   When Jeff was 18, he found an old fly rod at his family's cottage on Puslinch Lake. He had no clue how it worked, but he tossed it off the dock anyway, and a big largemouth bass crushed his fly. And just like that, he was hooked. From there, he taught himself through books and trial and error. Years later, after a frustrating trip with a Colorado guide who wouldn't stop talking about himself, Jeff realized he could do a better job. That experience pushed him to start his own guiding business.  Jeff focused his business on the corporate world, pitching fly fishing as a unique alternative to golf outings. Companies loved it because their clients learned something new instead of just another "forgettable" round of golf.   https://www.youtube.com/live/vbBUAL4f15Y?si=W0pytH8YKt3msoaR The New Fly Fisher Jeff's journey with The New Fly Fisher started about five years ago. Mark Melynk contacted him about doing a show on Calmwaters Fly Fishing. He teamed up with Bill Spicer to film an episode on Small River Euro Nymphing.  After the show, Jeff connected with Colin and did some technical work with the team. He remembers Colin fondly as an amazing person. Check out our episode with Colin.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttqo0zniczo Tight Line Nymphing   Jeff uses a setup tailored for steelhead and fast-moving rivers for tight line nymphing. Here's the breakdown of the gear he uses: Rod - Jeff prefers using a 9-foot, 7-weight rod for tight line nymphing, like the TFO Axiom II-X. While many people go for longer rods, Jeff finds that a shorter rod helps bring fish in faster, especially in faster rivers.  With steelhead and big fish, you need some serious pulling power, and the extra muscle in the butt section of his rod makes a big difference. Jeff says it's similar to fishing for smallmouth bass. Sometimes, even an 8-foot rod is easier to work with. Fly Line - The fly line is buried, and Jeff uses 12-pound Maxima Chameleon for about 30 to 34 feet, helping to get the fly line out of the way. Cider Tippet - Jeff uses 4 to 5 feet of cider tippet, with a 0X size, typically in 10-pound test. Tippet - Jeff finishes with about 2.5 feet of tippet, which he uses in 3X, 4X, or even 6-pound tests, depending on the situation. Split Shot - While some Euro nymphers avoid split shots, Jeff uses it to get the fly down quickly to steelhead. He says steelheads are focused on moving upstream and often aren't looking for bugs. Jeff uses a split shot to force-feed the fish to get the fly in their zone. How Do You Catch Steelhead in Fast Water? Jeff enjoys fishing in fast, shallow water, especially after other anglers have disturbed the fish. He explains that when steelheads get spooked out of a pool, they often head upriver into faster water.  He teaches his customers to analyze the water and look for places where fish might stop, like a pocket or a small channel. Most of the time, the depth is around 3 feet. Jeff advises staying in one spot for about 15 to 20 minutes. Top Flies for Tight Line Nymphing Jeff shares his go-to nymph flies for steelhead tight-line nymphing. He likes using a few different colors and styles. Here's what works for him: A purple thread-wrapped size 14 caddis curved hook with a purple bead head and maybe a pink collar. A green caddis nymph. Larvae patterns with a purple head. Sometimes, he'll go for a gunmetal head to avoid any shine that could spook the fish. How to Fish Shallow Water Runs  Jeff gets pretty close to the fish when fishing in shallow water, like a three-foot run. He'll stand about 5 to 6 feet from a boulder and start working the water above it.  Jeff's main tip is to keep your line straight up and down because if the line isn't straight, your fly won't get to the bottom. He tells his students to think of the line like a hot wire cutting through butter. He also leads with the rod tip, pulling the fly slightly faster to keep it in the right spot. Tight Line Nymphing Steelhead vs. Trout Fishing Tight line nymphing for steelhead is a bit different from trout fishing. Jeff uses larger gear and often adds split shots to get the fly down deeper in the water. With brown trout, the water's usually smaller, and they tend to look up for bugs, so you don't need as much weight.  The key to success is reading the water and finding boulders, as they are perfect spots for fish to hide. Jeff also recommends not slowing the fly down too much. Instead, use a downward mend to make the fly rip through the current, which can trigger even a lazy steelhead to bite. Tips for Tight Line Nymphing for Steelhead Read the water Get eight to nine out of 10 perfect drifts Set the hook on everything Add more split shots if you're not hitting the bottom   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/714

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin interviews Dr. Annalisa Bracco, a professor at Georgia Tech specializing in ocean and climate dynamics. The discussion centers around innovative climate solutions, moving away from the typical focus on the negative impacts of climate change. Key Climate Solutions Discussed: Sargassum Management: Problem: Since 2011, there have been significant blooms of sargassum in the tropical Atlantic, impacting beaches in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. These blooms require costly cleanup efforts, amounting to approximately $300 million per year. Solutions: Sinking Sargassum: Research is being conducted to explore the feasibility of sinking sargassum to sequester carbon. This involves understanding the ecological impacts and ensuring that the carbon captured is not released back into the atmosphere. Biofuel Production: Collaborations with engineers and biologists are underway to convert sargassum into biofuels. One approach involves using black fly larvae, which can efficiently consume sargassum and accumulate lipids for biofuel extraction. Bricks from Sargassum: A small business in Mexico is creating bricks from dried sargassum, which are reported to be more resilient to storms than traditional building materials. Coral Reef Connectivity: Dr. Bracco's team is using machine learning to study the connectivity among coral reefs, which is crucial for understanding how larvae disperse and how healthy ecosystems can support one another. The research highlights the dynamic nature of coral ecosystems, particularly in the Pacific, where certain areas can recover from bleaching events due to the exchange of larvae. In contrast, the Atlantic faces challenges due to pollution and overfishing, which hinder recovery. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The episode emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary work in addressing climate issues. Dr. Bracco collaborates with experts from various fields, including biology, engineering, and computer science, to develop comprehensive solutions to climate challenges. Overall, the episode provides a hopeful perspective on climate solutions, showcasing innovative approaches to managing ocean health and addressing the impacts of climate change.

The spongy moth (lymantria dispar) is a non-native, foliage eating insect that threatens deciduous trees and impacts humans. It is considered one of the 100 most destructive invasive species worldwide. Originally from Europe and Asia, spongy moths made their debut in the Massachusetts in 1869 in an unsuccessful attempt to introduce silk production to the US. They complete one generation in a full year with a life cycle that consists of four stages: Egg: Females lay eggs in masses of 500-1000 in August. The egg masses are beige with velvety texture and spongy consistency. Larva (caterpillar): The larval stage typically lasts about 7 weeks. Larvae are most active during May and June. The caterpillars partially or entirely strip trees of their leaves. They prefer oaks, especially white and chestnut. But they'll also eat alder, aspen, basswood, birch, hawthorn and willow trees. Pupa (Cocoon): After feeding and accumulating far, the larvae pupate. Adult (moth): The adult emerges from the pupa and reproduces If you have damaged, compromised, or beloved trees in your landscape, be prepared to treat those trees early if spongy moth injury is expected. Talk to an arborist about applying a well-timed insecticide treatment. Also, consider adding a tree band in late May. These trap spongy moth caterpillars as they hike up and down a tree. Don't forget to fertilize the tree to improve its ability to recover from spongy moth damage. And make sure to water your tree on dry days to prevent any added stress from drought. Dr. Clive Jones is a terrestrial ecologist with expertise in biodiversity and environmental management. Working with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY, he joined the Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to talk about the recent outbreaks of spongy moths in the area. Clive has spent much of his career studying how organisms physically modify the non-living environment and the consequences for those species, other species and ecological processes. He has also contributed to understanding complex interaction webs in oak forests that connect oaks and acorns with insect outbreaks like spongy moth. He joins Dr. Charles Canham, another senior scientist at the Cary Institute who specializes in forest ecology and management. We hope you find this conversation and interesting as we did.

The following article of the agribusiness & food industry is: “Crickets vs. Black Soldier Fly Larvae: A Culinary Revolution” by Francisca Castellanos, Founder & CEO, Crick Superfoods.

Mark and Niall discuss the all-time great sequel Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Directed by Nicholas Meyer, and starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban and some ear slugs, the film focuses on what happens when a muscular villain really wants to kill Admiral Kirk. In this episode, they also talk about excellent sequels, even-numbered Star Trek films, and recycled sets. Enjoy!

This week, Nigel and Tazziii go back to where it all started for a deep dive into Hayao Miyazaki's pre-Studio Ghibli masterpiece (starting at 28:55), with guest Laura Watton, a comic creator known as Pink Apple Jam. We revisit this title 40 years on from its release and discuss how relevant its environmental themes still are, as well as compare the changes in the acceptance of lengthy animated stories with strong female characters. At the time, a reluctance led to the disastrous Western adaptation, but what is it that made producers nervous? We examine the brilliant worldbuilding that can be learned from and discuss the perception of gender roles in media. This week's storytelling tip is about utilizing exposition in your story's dialogue. Other stories we're enjoying include: Ranma ½ remake (Netflix), Bob's Burgers (Disney+), The Kid Who Would Be King (Disney+), WandaVision — "Agatha All Along" (Disney+), Black-ish (Disney+), Restaurant to Another World 2 (Crunchyroll), The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses (Crunchyroll), Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (Crunchyroll), Solar Opposites (Disney+), Terminator Zero (Netflix).

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating origins and esoteric significance of the term larva. We begin by exploring its classical Latin meaning as a ghostly apparition or malevolent spirit, drawing from ancient Roman religious traditions. Discover how larvae were seen as dangerous spirits that disturbed the living, and how these concepts evolved over time. As we trace the term through history, you'll see how larva came to represent not just ghosts, but also astral parasites in modern occultism, feeding off negative emotions and unresolved psychic energy. Learn how figures like Blavatsky, Crowley, and Bardon interpreted larvae as psychic parasites, and how the term has even found its way into modern biological terminology. We'll also discuss the festival of Lemuria in Roman culture, where rituals were performed to exorcise these malevolent spirits, and the symbolic significance of masks in esoteric traditions.

Black Soldier Flies Fight Climate Change Many people eat pork and chicken. Pork comes from pigs. Chicken comes from… well, chickens! Pigs and chickens eat lots of corn, soy, and fish. 很多人會吃豬肉跟雞肉，而豬跟雞吃很多玉米、大豆跟魚。 We need lots of big corn farms, soy farms, and fish farms to feed them. But these farms are bad for our land, air, and water. They make climate change worse. 所以要餵豬跟雞，我們需要很多玉米田、大豆田跟魚類養殖場，但是這些農場對土地、空氣跟水都不好，讓氣候變遷惡化。 But a company in the UK is fighting climate change with soldiers … black soldier flies!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Research summary: farmed yellow mealworm welfare, published by abrahamrowe on January 3, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post is a short summary of a peer-reviewed, open access publication on yellow mealworm welfare in the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed. The paper and supplemental information can be accessed here. The original paper was written by Meghan Barrett, Rebekah Keating Godfrey, Alexandra Schnell, and Bob Fischer; the research conducted in the paper was funded by Rethink Priorities. This post was written by Abraham Rowe and reviewed by Meghan Barrett. Unless cited otherwise, all information is derived from the Barrett et al. 2023 publication. Summary As of 2020, around 300 billion yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) are farmed annually (though recent estimates now put this figure at over 3 trillion individuals ( Pells, 2023 )). Barrett et al. 2023 is the first publication to consider species-specific welfare concerns for farmed mealworms. The authors identify 15 current and future welfare concerns, including more pressing current concerns such as: Disease - Bacterial, fungal, protist, and viral pathogens can cause sluggishness, tissue damage, slowed growth, increased susceptibility to other diseases, and even mass-mortality events. High larval rearing densities - Density can cause a range of negative effects, including increased cannibalism and disease, higher chances of heat-related death, competition over food leading to malnutrition, and behavioral restriction near pupation. Inadequate larval nutrition - This may result from not providing enough protein in the animals' largely grains-based diet. Light use during handling - Photophobic adults and larvae may experience significant stress due to light use during handling. Slaughter methods - While we have high empirical uncertainty about the relative harms of slaughter methods, it is clear that some approaches to slaughter and depopulation on farms are more harmful than others. Future concerns that haven't yet been realized on farms include: Novel, potentially toxic, or inadequate feed substrates - Polymers (like plastics) and mycotoxin-contaminated grains may be more likely to be used in the future. Selective breeding and genetic modification - In vertebrate animals, selective breeding has caused a large number of welfare issues. The same might be expected to become true for mealworms. Current rearing and slaughter practices Yellow mealworms are the larval instars of a species of darkling beetle, Tenebrio molitor. Larvae go through a number of molts prior to pupation, which can take between a few months to two years depending on nutrition and abiotic conditions. Mealworms take up to 20 days to pupate. After pupating, the emerged adult beetles will mate within 3-5 days. Mealworms are a popular insect to farm for food due to their rapid growth, high nutrient content, and ease of handling. Adults are typically only used for breeding, while large larvae are sold as food and feed. Mealworms typically consume decaying grains, but have been reported to eat a wide variety of other foods in certain circumstances (including dead insects, other mealworms, and decaying wood). In farmed conditions, larval mealworms are fed a diet of 70%-85% cereals and other carbohydrates, and may be provided with supplementary protein, fruit, or vegetables. Mealworms are reared in stackable crates, usually with screened bottoms to allow frass (insect excrement) to fall through and not accumulate. Mealworms may be reared in up to 24-hour darkness, as they are photophobic. Insects bound for slaughter are collected at around 100 mg. Prior to slaughter, insects are sieved out of the substrate, washed (to remove frass and other waste from the exterior surface of their bodies), and prevented from eating for up to two days (ca...

I don't even know where to begin. Today, I—Mimi—interview Pat Crowley of Chapul Farms in my own state of Oregon. One of my neighbors. If you've been one of the many thousands who have viewed THIS video of black soldier fly larvae production, this is THAT, but on steroids. Pat describes Chapul: “In 2019, I launched Chapel Farms as a way to continue growing the regenerative potential of insects to bioconvert food and ag waste into healthy foods and microbial-rich soil. We work with selected domestic and international insect farms to scale their operations and provide the highest quality insect products to B to C and B to B markets… we are developing some of the world's largest insect farms focused on uncompromising sustainability metrics.” It's all true.

We went all the way to China for this episode, well we went via satellite, lol. Cooh grubs marketing and social manager Carter Jin joined the conversation with Reec. They  discussed Cooh Grubs amazing mission to lower food waste and develop sustainable nutrition and snack products for chickens and even humans through black soldier fly larvae. They have  a 9 acre facility that is developing ways to cut waste world wide and supply delicious chicken treats in the process. They're based in China but have connected to many influencers and back yard farmers in USa via social media. Reec and Carter talk about their history, business approach and effective social strategies.  www.BlackYardChickenz.comFB: IG: TT:

Parasites may bet a bad rap overall, but they play a vital role in healthy ecosystems. In this episode, we focus on the role parasites play in freshwater ecosystems. Specifically, we're talking about the role of avian schistosomes, a very interesting parasite that infects waterfowl, but that also uses snails as a host in its larval stage. Larvae also infect humans to cause what's know as swimmer's itch.To guide this conversation we have Dr. Patrick Hanington, associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. As a self-described parasitologist and immunologist he and his team focus on developing multiplexed PCR-based tests to detect freshwater parasites, including avian schistosomes. Their work benefits locals in his area by monitoring pubic and recreational waters for swimmer's itch outbreaks, but their work also serves as a model for informing human schistosome research, where Schistosomiasis is the second most prevalent disease worldwide, behind malaria. In our conversation with Patrick we learn about how they design their assays, why they're increasingly using dPCR instead of qPCR. Beyond the technical work, we get into how Patrick's career path developed, how what he loves most about his job has changed and evolved over time, his lessons learned in the lab, and how his research and hobbies have blended over time. And because it's Absolute Gene-ius, you know we keep it fun with some unexpected movie references and a bit of discussion about how science is represented in television and film. Visit the Absolute Gene-ius page to learn more about the guest, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

Corn rootworm. A pest which causes over a billion dollars' worth of damage annually across the United States and has crept up in numbers in Wisconsin. Emily Bick, UW-Madison Entomology Professor explains what we can expect this year from this pest and how farmers can take proactive measures to mitigate its impact on their crops. Corn rootworm beetle pressure persists. Based on the high adult corn rootworm pressure observed last August, southern and western Wisconsin corn producers have been advised to closely review their rootworm management plans for 2023. “Corn rootworm can cause extensive damage to corn crops,” says Bick. “Larvae feed on roots in late spring and early summer, causing stalks to tip over. Adults feed on leaves and silks in the late summer, inhibiting pollination. The number of adults in your field in the fall is an indicator of the larvae to be there in the spring.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the UK aims to meet its target of becoming net zero on carbon by 2050, millions of trees are being planted, but will all these new trees survive? According to the Forestry Commission, on average 30% of newly planted trees in towns and cities in the UK will not survive more than 12 months and a long term programme of planting trees along the A14 has been badly hit: the Highways Agency told us since 2018 around 40% of newly planted trees along the road had died. Since then, with the very hot summer last year, they are expecting that number to rise. We speak to the Woodland Trust. After months of being kept indoors to prevent the spread of Avian Flu, free range poultry is being allowed outdoors. DEFRA's latest figures show Avian Flu outbreaks have been the worst recorded this winter, with more than 330 outbreaks confirmed across the country since late October 2021. Enhanced biosecurity requirements that were brought in as part of the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone will remain in force as infection may still be circulating for several more weeks. A business start-up is producing soldier larvae to feed to chickens. It uses surplus fruit and veg from supermarkets to grow maggots. The company is now working with several egg farms in Wales, who are installing converted containers next to their hen houses, so the live grubs can be fed to the chickens. Estate owners in Scotland are tapping into the growing carbon market to make money from "natural capital" such as peat and woodland restoration. One landowner rejects the term "green laird" and insists he's interested in looking after the land for the long term. Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

According to the World Food Programme, a record 349 million people across 79 countries are facing acute food insecurity.  This constitutes a staggering rise of 200 million people compared to pre-pandemic levels.  Nearly one million people globally are fighting to survive in famine-like conditions, which is ten times more people than just five years ago.   […]

Plastic pollution is damaging the health of the environment, wildlife and us. It has been found on remote islands, in Antarctic snow and in human blood, breast milk and lungs. Alongside rapidly reducing how much plastic we produce, we also need to find new ways to tackle the waste we have created. Madeleine Finlay speaks to the Guardian's environment editor, Damian Carrington, about the discovery of an enzyme that can rapidly break down plastic bags – found inside the saliva of wax worms – and where else we might find solutions in the natural world.

Fireflies are primarily carnivorous. Larvae usually eat snails and worms. Some species of fireflies feed on other fireflies—most notable is the genus photuris, which mimics female flashes of photinus, a closely related species, in order to attract and devour the males of that species. But adult fireflies have almost never been seen feeding on other species of bugs. Scientists aren't sure what they eat. They may feed on plant pollen and nectar, or they may eat nothing. In a firefly's tail, you'll find two chemicals: luciferase and luciferin. Luciferin is heat resistant, and it glows under the right conditions. Luciferase is an enzyme that triggers light emission. ATP, a chemical within the firefly's body, converts to energy and initiates the glow. All living things, not just fireflies, contain ATP.

This Day in Maine for Wednesday, September 7th, 2022.

Upon Salisbury Plain - nestled amongst exploding ordnance and dim-witted Tawny Owl fledgelings - the child that would become Dr Amy-Jane Beer found both a love for nature and a love for adventure. Training originally as a biologist, Amy grew into one of Britain's best loved nature writers. Whether articles in British Wildlife, diary entires for the Guardian's ‘Country Diary', or her latest book “The Flow” (which explores our relationships with Britain's numerous wild water ways), Amy's writing exposes personal and oft-spiritual experiences to illuminate nature and science for wider audiences. An active participant of both the Right to Roam movement and the New Networks for Nature alliance (the former hoping to unlock the many health benefits attained through access to green spaces, and the latter exploring how creative inspiration can be drawn from British wildlife) Amy believes that a human right to linger, explore and create is “amazing compost” for the mind, body and soul. Amy is a scientist that places great value upon love, upon magic and upon the power of motherhood, as well as upon the intricacies of the radial symmetry of sea urchin larvae! Hopefully she will inspire you to seek the benefits of learning to trespass like a river.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Research summary: brain cell counts in Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens; Diptera: Stratiomyidae), published by Rachel Norman on August 15, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary An organism's number of brain cells (e.g., neural processing power) may be a relevant proxy in assessing its likelihood of being sentient and, consequently, its capacity for welfare. In addition, quantitative proxies like brain cell numbers allow for more objective comparisons of moral weight across species, or across developmental stages within the same species. Isotropic fractionation (IF), a technique recently pioneered for application in insects by Godfrey et al. 2021, allows for insect brain cells to be quickly and reliably counted. IF can be used to determine the number of brain cells in insects, such as the black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens). Billions of BSFs are farmed annually across the globe, mainly to be used as animal feed, and the industry is growing. Understanding the likelihood of sentience in BSFs is important due to the massive scale of this new agricultural sector. My study co-authors and I determined the number of brain cells in adult male and female BSFs as well as L1, L4, and L6 stage larvae. As shown in the paper (preprint here), larvae produced a 9-fold increase in brain cell numbers across larval development; pupation caused a 16-fold increase in brain cell numbers for adults. Adult BSFs had an average of ~331,000 brain cells; males and females differed in the number of cells in their brains, due to differences in the optic lobes (peripheral processing regions responsible for the input of visual information). In the central brain, BSF adults had ~42,000 CB cells irrespective of sex. These data allow for BSF (at multiple developmental stages) to be included in interspecific welfare comparisons that use brain cells as a relevant measure of capacity for welfare. Caveats This post assumes sentience in insects is possible, but does not attempt to assess how probable it is based on the data gathered. In addition, it assumes cognitive capacity may be considered a proxy for sentience. Brain cell counts by themselves provide limited evidence for cognitive capacity, and should be used in conjunction with other behavioral and anatomical data. With insects there is often very little data on these other features (recently reviewed here); brain cell counts may represent an initial foray, then, into understanding a species' cognitive complexity. Thus, this research does not assess cognitive sophistication, nor the capacity for welfare in BSF, but may still be of interest to those working to understand BSF sentience. This post is not meant to examine the utility, or pros/cons, of brain cell numbers as a proxy for cognitive capacity, sentience, or moral weight. The data reported herein are for total brain cell numbers, which includes non-neuronal cell populations. Data from other Diptera (flies, mosquitoes, etc.) suggest neurons may make up ~90% of all brain cells (Raji & Potter 2021). Introduction Between 200 and 300 billion individual black soldier flies (BSFs) are estimated to be farmed annually to be used as animal feed, and the industry is expected to grow (Rowe 2020). The vast majority of farmed BSFs are killed as larvae. Larvae have excellent biomass conversion abilities (Cicková et al. 2015, Lalander et al. 2015), and exchange any waste products they may consume into nutrition for livestock and exotic pets (among other products; Lee et al. 2021, Hopkins et al. 2021, de Souza Vilela et al. 2021). BSFs belong to the order Diptera, family Stratiomyidae; they are in the same order as the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster (though D. melanogaster belongs to a different family, Drosophilidae). BSFs are native to the Neotropics, but due to globalization have...

The Bombyliidae are a family of flies. Their common name are bee flies or humbleflies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae generally are parasitoids of other insects.

The eastern dobsonfly, Corydalus cornutus, is a large insect in the Corydalidae family. It is found in eastern North America in regions with fast-flowing streams where its aquatic larvae develop. These are known as hellgrammites and are among the top invertebrate predators in the streams in which they live. They are used by anglers as bait.
