"3B torso model"

Ideal for use as a model system, this free-living nematode has biological processes similar to those of other animals. The transparent animal normally inhabits soil.

Rhabditis sp. Easily grown on potato medium and easy to maintain, Rhabditis can be used as food for predatory fungi such as Arthrobotrys. You will receive enough materials for 35 students and culture instructions.

Examine the morphological characteristics of typical soil nematodes with the specimens in our well-populated culture.

Enchytraeus sp. Culturing this terrestrial Oligochaete quickly produces a large population for general study or a source of food for fish and amphibians. Culture instructions are included.

Planaria are a flatworm commonly used in science fair projects. They do not bite and move very slowly, making them easy for young students to observe.

AKA king mealworms, superworms are extremely popular as a feeder insect within the pet trade.

This species of termite is very large, and you can easily observe the distinct differences of the several roles that exist in their eusocial colonies.

Hydra are tiny animals closely related to jellyfish. They can be carnivorous as well as photosyntheic due to their symbiotic relationship with green algae Zoochlorellae.

This is the most widely studied Turbellarian, a free-living flatworm commonly used in science fair projects.

Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is widely used in genetic studies because they express a number of mutations such as eye, wing, and body mutations.
