Available in stock (13)
A Fascinating 5-Stage Diptera Complete Metamorphosis Study Preserved in Optical Resin
Explore the rapid and complete metamorphosis of the common housefly (Musca domestica) with the Acever Life Cycle of Housefly Specimen Paperweight (Model: E1211). Permanently embedded inside a durable block of crystal-clear optical resin, this educational specimen details five authentic biological stages arranged in chronological numbered sequence (stages 1–5). The progression clearly showcases an egg or early-stage larva, an elongated mature feeding maggot, a hardened brown barrel-shaped puparium case, an emerging adult fly, and a fully formed winged adult housefly with clear membranous wings and compound eyes. Offering an engaging, hands-on teaching asset for medical entomology, sanitation education, and biology classrooms, it eliminates messy liquid preservatives and fragile glass vials entirely.
