Subject: 115'th update on fly longevity experiments
This is the 115'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 25.4 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 79 days.
In this lot of raw produce testing, high dose leek bulb proved to be
toxic. I had high hopes for persimmon, but these were dashed by
indifferent results.
