| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | The procedure was performed as instructed and no mistakes were made that would affect results. I was guided through the procedure by two experts whom I trust and was given any advice/help when needed by said experts. I was provided with more than sufficient material and equipment to test my arthropod for Wolbachia. There is no reason the results would be wrong. |
