Hmmmm? Interestering, gals, about the 'Gossyplure'. Here's a question I'm asking myself - have we identified any males yet in our sitings? I wonder if they've programmed them ALL to be females and egg layers? They're asexual - that sex with a male isn't necessary to procreate? And, a good idea about the 'Skin So Soft', Toni! I'll test it and let you know.

Now Toni, what's that new apparatus they're talking about? Have you found anything on this? Any pictures?
I'm wondering...Mini Air Flow Apparatus with hollow fibers?
I've found an article where it said that this is used on cotton fields to control the pink boll worm..Cotton?
huh?

Oh...I'm screaming outloud! I don't know what to think...but I'm still getting VERY EXCITED about this!
That red rubber septa...isn't THAT opaque like too?

Hi y'all, Yep - they certain look like eggs on your gnat Toni. Can you get a closer shot of one? I've seen lots of fungus gnats off me this week - I think its partly the season change. The two species that cause alot of US, european crop damage and annoy people in swarms are: - Bradysia coprophila - Bradydia impatiens Bradysia coprophila has un unusual male genetic transmission thing going on: nodnacontrol.blogspot.com/2009/05/sciara-and-problems-of-sex.htmlFungus gnats are rubbish flyers, so if they dive for your face, blow on them. That's a good mix Jeany. Teatree and citronella are great. Also peppermint which can be taken internally - they hate it. It would be good to capture the larvae on a web, to prove they are making them in our homes: bugguide.net/node/view/43860/bgimageKeep truckin Jo xxx

Jeany,
The links in my (today's posts) have all about the "hollow fibers" and how the "micro silicone beads implanted with all kinds of chemicals such as organophosphates etc...and then they're "loaded into/impregnated" into these gossyplure hollow fibers. And those are called:
NoMate Attract and kill (that's the commerical pesticide) used for the crops!
Application is : sticker used to adhere fibers containing gossyplure (NoMate Attract 'n Kill) to the foliage.
They cause "pheremone releases"...and then kill the insects.
The "Gossyplure" also (which is called again, NoMate Attract and Kill) comes in 'particles' that "dry out if they're not kept hydrated".
Which the particles DRY out if they're not kept 'hydrated'...just like 'our stuff'.
Also (the gossyplure chems come in not only hollow fibers, and particles, but also "flakes").

Ruth,
In the clear fiber thread, you mention and post a link to the hydrogels.
This ( Gossyplure) also is in the family of "hydrogels", meaning the crosslinking with polymers too. Just throwing this out there, also for food for thought.

OMG...wait till you get a LOAD OF THIS!!!![/size] Is this why the bugs are after us??? From ARTICLE: This was released in 1978!For the first time, the Environmental Protection Agency has approved for commercial use as a pesticide an insect sex pheromone, the scent emitted by a female to attract males. The new substance, being marketed by Albany International under the trade name Gossyplure.They try to mate with sticks, stones, vegetation or anything else in the vicinity. www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,919691,00.html Gossyplure are pest control: flakes/fibers/particles and the "hollow fibers are impregnated with micro beads of silcone and organophosphates amongst lots of other things...(pheremones) too.

There ya go: EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE PHEROMONE DISPENSING TECHNOLOGIES walnutresearch.ucdavis.edu/2004/2004_255.pdfDevelopment of alternative pheromone dispensers continue to show promise for disruption of long-range communication between male and female codling moths. Hollow fibers containing the codling moth pheromone that can be dispersed at 30,000-40,000 units per acre can currently be distributed by specialized application equipment affixed to either helicopters or fixed wing aircraft, whereas efforts to develop ground-based applications are underway elsewhere. The applications suppressed virtually 100% of the codling moth trap counts in 3 orchards using 2 applications of the fibers, but damage suppression was not equally dramatic. A similar result was obtained with low rates of puffer (aerosol style emitters) delivery devices. Jeany

I can't post the USPTO info, if you go there and look at Gossyplure under "patents", there's SO much it will scare you (in how this sure looks like a greater than great possibility) imho.

Hi y'all, It would be good to capture the larvae on a web, to prove they are making them in our homes: Jo xxx The eggs are making a 'web/cocoon' from the fungus that's on their outside layer, Jo. Let me find a photo of what they're doing? Below is just the eggs cultured in agar from an adult dead gnat, the same as in Toni's case, a portion of the adult entered the Petri Dish also, the eggs were separated from the adult in the dish. These were cultured on 8/10, this is 9 days growth at 100x. See how thick the unidentified 'fungus' gets to be and the red and blue colors of the fungal hyphae? Below is the top tip of an egg that has surrounded itself with the fungus in the same dish as above. This dish dried out and did not progress into the larvae stage.In the next phase, we see where the eggs have turned into larvae without the fungus around them. Where did the fungus go? I suspecting the fungus is a part of the overall fiber make up, that it might get absorbed into the fibers, somehow? We see that the gnat is initially emitting a clear, transparent filament, this might explain the red and blue colors of the fibers? But, what about the black, brown and yellow fibers, where are they coming from? I saw in one of the bv movies that I just posted where the lab scientist is adding colored variables to the polyhedron during the injection process, possibly a dye or a quantum dot dye? We're not exactly sure of what this larvae is made up of to begin with, it's innards are multi-colored goo and fiber-like. And, we might have to factor in that these capsids are supposedly made out of caterpillars, moths and army worms, and who knows what other insects that make a silk fiber? -------------------------------- As seen in the "Fungus Gnat Movie" - with the initial carbon capsid that the gnat is creating while defecating, starting there, the life cycle is: carbon capsid created by live larvae -> capsid/sphere -> carbon capsid (shell/rock/spaceship) -> carbon capsid (as shown below, resembles the shape of a larvae, is see inside of two of the previous 3) -> larvae (creates beginning capsids) -> pupae -> adult (creates beginning capsids) -> egg -> fungus -> hollow carbon cells -> and back to the initial carbon capsid. [/img][/center] What this photo below is showing is 4 larvae that possibly came out of one carbon capsid? I have photos of singles, twins and triplets, with no evident capsid involved, at all. I have seen less pupae than adults present in taped-up dishes. There's a lot of questions around this entity's life cycle, it appears that the life cycles changes depending on where you start, perhaps someone else will do some experiments and make some observations and we can compare notes later? There's still a lot to discover. -------------------------------- Back to your question, Jo, are they making 'webs' in our homes? Yes, they could in something like a continously wet carpet or rug, it would appear like a white cotton-looking fungus that's spread out over an area of the rug. Is it possible that they are progressing to the larvae stage in the 'webs', like our cobwebs, - no, I don't think so - because, the only thing saving us - is that this stage requires moisture.

Hi y'all, The two species that cause alot of US, european crop damage and annoy people in swarms are: - Bradysia coprophila - Bradydia impatiens Bradysia coprophila has an unusual male genetic transmission thing going on: That's a good mix Jeany. Teatree and citronella are great. Also peppermint which can be taken internally - they hate it. Jo xxx Let's see what the two gnats that Jo is pointing us at, both are Bradysia spp. (Insecta: Diptera: Sciaridae) : Bradysia coprophila entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/darkwinged_fungus_gnats.htm"Adults: The adults are small, up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) delicate flies, dark brown body, dusky wings, small head, rounded, moderately prominent eyes that meet above the bases of the thread-like antennae, legs and wings comparatively long. Fungus gnat adults are about 1/8 inch long, spindly flies with long legs and long, thread-like antennae. They look more like tiny mosquitoes than common flies." "They (1970a) reported that at 75°F (24°C) in the laboratory the average fecundity of a female was 75 eggs, and length of life cycle about 27 days; however, when temperatures were fluctuated to produce optimum development, the life cycle was about 19 days." 19 - 27 DAYS! The photo looks real close, Jo. Peppermint internally, how much daily? And, how much should we put in an 8oz glass of water? What all are you doing, Jo, to rid yours from your body?

Jeany,
I'm sorry, just saw your post about the apparatus.
I've not yet "gone there" but I will soon.
And Kammy you're a riot!! ;D ;D ;D

The net is closing in... Interesting that the Time article was from 1970's - that's the kinda time frame that sounds promising....and trying to mate with sticks!! great find Toni. I can't believe they spray fibers with glue, from planes on to crops Kam - about the webs. Fungus gnats make silk threads to catch prey on. They also spin cocoons with silk. They also carry Rhizoctonia and Pythium - could these fit the fungi in your photos? I take 400mg a day of peppermint oil and 50mg a day of enteric coated peppermint oil - to hit small intestines too. Then garlic, chilli, any sulphur based supplements (MSM, NAC etc) and lots of green veg and herbs. And hit the salt and citronella on skin. Jo xxx
