ABSTRACT:
Insects, such as fruit flies, are quickly anesthetized while contained in a culture vessel of the type having a mouth closed by a flexible porous plug by immersing one end portion of an elongate slender applicator wand in a volatile liquid anesthetic and then inserting the applicator wand between the wall of the culture vessel and the porous plug without removal of the plug and without creating an opening therebetween to allow the insects to escape and positioning the end portion of the applicator wand inside the culture vessel to thereby quickly expose the insects in the culture vessel to the anesthetic.
