Last week I trekked out to Landfill to see if I could acquire some aphids and I was successful! The most successful way of harvesting them in the past which was using a paintbrush that had a small amount of bristles. However, I found most successful for preparing the Aphids to move is slightly blowing on them. This provoked them enough to retract their styles so I could sweep them using a larger paintbrush. After a drive back, I put them back onto the leaves of the addition plants in ExPt01.
This week I was met with some pretty unfortunate news after visiting the addition plants in ExPt01, they were no longer present. So to remedy this, I will venture back out to landfill and harvest more aphids and check back in with them tomorrow afternoon to make sure that they are thriving on their respective plants.
