  1. Jackie, were these recent? I need them for a lab in the fall. Can you collect a bunch for me (~100)? If you do, I'm happy to come pick them up and tend them for the summer... Let me know.

  2. Yes they are actually all over the place! Can I just keep them in a tupperware container with soil and holes in the top for the time being or do they need some other treatment?

  3. That will work just fine. I was told to also take a potato, cut it in half, and put the halves in the container for food. My friend suggested changing the potato once/week.

    If you want me to get them, just let me know. I'm happy to do it!!!
