The best way to carry out your experiment is to get pure cultures of known genetic strains of fruit flies. You may want to buy a culture that is larger so it will be easier to work with the instar larvae. Once you have the culture and culture materials. You can empty out the adult flies. The next day you can choose from the newly emerged adults those you will use for producing your instars. Place the chosen adults into fresh fruit fly medium, stopper the bottles and keep them in a constant environmental conditions which you will determine and record. Once you see hatchling larvae moving in the medium, remove the adults and allow the instars to mature to the size you need for the experiment.

First you have to get some fruit fly eggs or capture a pregnat one so you can hatch it (room temp best). Keep them in a tight area (use like a plastic bos or something with holes on top make sure to seal the cal tightly or they'll escape [use tape or something])feed them well, almost anything even poo. Use apples oor meaty things. For water, use a small wet sponge for them.
