| Putative identification | Arthropoda Insecta Lepidoptera Noctuidae Chrysodeixis Chrysodeixis includens |
Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | Edwards Buffer |
| DNA extraction location | Abdomen |
| Single or Duplex PCR | Duplex Reaction |

| Protocol notes | We used a UV stain on a 1% agarose gel. Well 1- Ladder Well 2- Earbud Well 3- Fly Well 4- Centipede Well 5- Positive Control for Wolbachia Well 6- Negative Control for Wolbachia Well 7- Positive DNA Well 8- UV Stained Water |
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | Results for Wolbachia came back negative while DNA gel run was successful. Negative result indicates contamination was unlikely to occur and gel run showcases DNA was present. |
