View of the Housatonic River, near Cornwall Bridge, CT. This river supports a large population of the mayfly Ephoron leukon, which hatches into the adult winged stage from the aquatic larval form in huge numbers in late July to early August and causes a near blizzard of insect activity on the banks of this river.

RNA interference can be used to disrupt gene expression in Tribolium. The T. castaneum pu-11 enhancer trap line expresses fluorescent GFP protein in the eyes and other tissues. This can be eliminated by injection of dsRNA encoding GFP into pu-11 larvae. The reduced expression level in the resulting adults is comparable to wildtype, which lack GFP activity entirely.
