Termites
Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) are often used as excellent organisms for an
inquiry-based scientific method lab to investigate pheromone communication
among social insects. Termites are also useful for the study of symbiotic relationships
due to the Trichonympha and Pyrsonympha protozoa that digest cellulose inside
the termites’ digestive tract. A state permit is required to ship to Alaska, Arizona,
California, Iowa, Maine, Ohio and Nevada.
★MAINTENANCE: Maintain termites on moist, untreated wood in a plastic container with pin-sized
air holes. Not suitable for the culture of a long-term colony.

Drosophila
Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type flies have red eyes, a grayish body and long,
full wings. All mutants deviate, with respect to one or more characteristics, from
wild-type flies. Drosophila are shipped with carefully formulated medium in 4" x 11/4"
shatterproof plastic vials that include netting and foam plugs. Cultures arrive containing
adult Drosophila. Allow adults at least one week to reproduce before removal. It
can take up to 14 days for Drosophila eggs to result in viable adults, so order accordingly
(3 weeks before intended use date is recommended). Shipment during extreme
cold periods may be delayed at our discretion. Please, if possible, avoid scheduling
deliveries and experiments during the coldest months in your area. A state permit is
required to ship to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
