Happy Fly Day!
November 18th is #Drosophila day. It commemorates the isolation of a white-eyed mutation, which is now used across the world. That mutation is white[1118], with the numbers standing for Nov 18th, the day it was isolated by Bob Levis. 🪰

Months ago, we found a white-null "Ken" D. pseudoobscura: a male lacking genitalia. Right now, I'm working with a recessive D. testacea colour variant isolated from wild flies.

The day?
Levis et al. (1982) and a worldwide community of Drosophila labs and societies.
