Sample information

This arthropod was the furthest away from the water compared to the other samples, Wascana Wet and Wascana Dry. It was found on concrete tiles, not grass. In the environment this arthropod was found in, there were other ant species present, a phenomenon which was not observed in the other locations (Wascana Wet & Wascana Dry). There were also caterpillars present. We found this arthropod eating a dead caterpillar.

Methods

Results

Our confidence level is high because all of our controls worked as expected. In our arthropod gel, all of the wells showed a band except for the arthropod negative control, as expected. In our Wolbachia gel, our positive controls showed a band, whereas our negative controls did not, as expected. We are confident in the diagnosis of this arthropod.
