Results
Wolbachia presence No
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

I have high confidence in my results because the controls worked as expected. The positive control showed the Wolbachia band, while the negative control and NTC did not. My insect, Sample 2 (Dermaptera), also did not show the expected Wolbachia band, which means my insect tested negative for Wolbachia.
