<p>My niece and I were taking a walk along a stream in our neighborhood and we noticed a lot of larvae in the stream. We decided to capture a single specimen and it was highly intriguing to find the tiny hair-like structures at the head and tail of the budding fly! <br/>Thank you to the Department of Medical Cell Biology for providing us with these wonderful instruments. </p><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2F6d74b37f-0018-4901-86c2-6d65554dd863%2Fad2cabf5-8590-4a5a-9cec-20b57234cdd0.foldscope?alt=media&amp;token=a10a6905-4e35-403a-9ac9-db70e1bc19bc"></iframe><p><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2F6d74b37f-0018-4901-86c2-6d65554dd863%2F98eba54d-0724-4ffd-b2fe-3c7d4cc5115f.foldscope?alt=media&amp;token=842f6af2-abd9-43b6-8e7d-3442fa56b93d"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/images%2F6d74b37f-0018-4901-86c2-6d65554dd863%2F04dfee48-7a30-4cf1-bba4-e4058f5a570f.foldscope?alt=media&amp;token=2cd62d57-48d5-4670-b153-353cdc0df030"/></p>
