"The flies pinned down in this photo are from six of 30 new species discovered in the urban metropolis of Los Angeles, California.

“The insects were identified as part of a project led by Emily Hartop of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, where local volunteers took part by setting up 24-hour insect traps at 30 sites across the city. ‘For us, it seemed like a no-brainer,’ says volunteer Walter Renwick. ‘We have two young bug-crazy children, a bug-crazy dad, and a very patient mom in our household.’”

I wonder how many plant, animal and microbial species we could identify around DMS and DFW?

microbial species we could identify around DMS

You could probably find some in the fridge, particularly if Brooks stops throwing food away before it has a chance to form a recombinant DNA sandwich.
