Usage (Breeding Tips)

1️⃣ Drosophila breeding: Take a small handful of Excelsior, fluff the fibers by hand, and insert them into your culture cups. This serves as support for adults and prevents flies from drowning in the nutrient formula.

2️⃣ Insect transport: Place a thin amount of fibers in your transport boxes (crickets, cockroaches, isopods) to provide stable anchoring points, thus reducing their stress during transit.

3️⃣ Maintenance: Single-use material for drosophila cultures; discard everything once the culture cycle is complete.
