Re: Wingless House Flies?
Great thread !
Check it out:
Exhibit: Mutant Fruit Flies - Drosophila Genetics | Exploratorium
I have always thought of vestigial meaning, in biological terms, something forming smaller and rendered useless ?
For example a smaller organ ( ie a wing) that results in that part no longer functioning..... ie the ' vestigial ' wings of flightless fruit flies
James describes it MUCH better ! I'm no biologist

Re: Wingless House Flies?
Thanks Lynn.
I think that your link is great as it is straightforward and layperson friendly.
"Curly" and "vestigial" are the two most commonly encountered "flightless" mutations in Drosophila stocks....for those interested there are others as well.

Re: Wingless House Flies?
This article by Frank Indiviglio only mentions flightless houseflies in passing, but it's a good article on flies as feeders in generalHouseflies and Maggots as Food for Reptiles, Amphibians and Invertebrates

I'm interested. I'm sure others will be as well.Originally Posted by Tzunu un
I don't want to hijack - this- Lisa's 'house fly' thread though.
I'll start a new thread for the FF?

Re: Wingless House Flies?
I have not seen any available curly winged house flies in the US, might have to import them if you really want them and hope you can sell enough cultures to get your money back. Carolina has a house fly rearing kit but for frogs I think I'd be tempted to try my own hand at it if I were going to go winged anyway. I've purchased maggots from Grubco before but I was using the maggots directly as food for salamanders but at this point I am content to just capture them during the summer months. If I had a really large collection, I'd give this a shot.
Re: Wingless House Flies?
I am in the process of trying my milk frogs on blue bottle flies, obtained in caster form from my local
fishing tackle shop, none of hatched yet so cannot comment any further
