=PROCEDURES://(Danielle) These are the procedures for this lab: Day 1: 1. Place two equal pieces of raw chicken liver into two plastic dishes 2. Place both dishes into two separate cages to prevent animals from eating the chicken liver. 3. Carry the two cages outdoors. Place one in a sunny location and the other in a shady location. Day 2: 1. Label two collection jars: one as "Sun" and the other as "Shade." Pour a little formalin in each jar. 2. Carry the two jars of formalin, tweezers, and hand lens outside. Observe the meat carefully. There may be more than one type of egg deposited on the meat. Collect a few eggs of each type and place them in the appropriate jar of formalin. 3. Return inside and examine the eggs. Measure and sketch the eggs, recording all information in data tables. Days 3-24: 1. Repeat day 2 every day, collecting larvae and pupae as they appear. 2. When adult flies appear, measure them and make sketches of them in your data table.//=
