The first was more a home school project for my 12 year old. He put the electrodes into the same water the larva was in and only killed the ones that touched the electrode which was only kept in the water for a couple minutes. After a couple hours sitting without the electrode all the mosquitos died. I wrote about that to the silver list and everyone seemed surprised and had questions. So I varied the experiment doing it a second time. This time I scoped up 50 to 75 larva into a glass bowl, left them in their pond water and just poured a pint of CS into 3 quarts of pond water. Nothing happened for 4 hours so we added another pint of CS. About 5 hours later they started to die. I left them overnight and this morning there are only a few left alive. Less than 10% are still alive. That is about a 90% die off overnight by just adding CS water to pond water with larva in it. The dead larva tend to concregate in clumps at the top of the water. Kind of like misery loves company, they all gathered together in a sick and dying death throes. This is a simple enough experiment for anyone else to try although the heavy frost last night might make finding larva a little more difficult today. I am new to all this but I can understand the significance of the difference between a simple cell and a comlplex multi-cell larva both being deathly affected by CS. Easy hunting just pouring CS on the little pricks to be. There was even another critter in the water that went belly up too. Looked a little like an armadillo bug made for water. CS did him in too.

Ron: I'd recommend repeating your experiment, but this time use a control. Your control will be adding the same amount of water to the control lava less any CS, of course. By following this procedure, you minimize the influence of random, or uncontrolled factors which could have influenced your results without you knowing about it. Please report your RELATIVE findings.
