These tiny flies were only a couple of mm long. Clearly I have a number of different species - This one has wings entirely covered in hairs, while the following picture shows a wing with hairs only on the wing margins.
Both were taken with the 10x objective.
My bathroom light is a shallow frosted bowl almost flush to the ceiling. It always gets full of dead insects.

The 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion - you can see hacked instruments, film of the scientists at work, and texts and graphics explaining the connection between biohacking and the tools of synthetic biology.

What happens when you add a drop of warm water to a basil seed.
This was incredibly fast - I have speeded up the video to fit into the flickr time allowance, but the whole thing only took 10 minutes in real time.

Unlike flies, which only have one pair of wings, bees and wasps have two pairs. The hindwing is small, and usually attached to the forewing by hooks called hamuli, so it often looks as though there is only one pair.
These are the hamuli on the hindwing of a Bombus hypnorum or tree bee, Britain's newest species of bumblebee.
Cool to see a photo of mine in The Economist. The spirulina workshop was a blast. Didn't taste bad and especially mixed with fresh fruit.
Here's a link to the article on the Economist.
The 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion will host hands-on events and open days when visitors can try out some of the tools on show, and discuss the goals and possibilities of open science and synthetic biology. When the scientists go home, film projection of their work leaves traces of action in the space. Photograph to be credited to Martin Malthe Borch. Originally uploaded to MaltheBorch's flickr stream.
A collaborative, interdisciplinary research project, Open Source Estrogen combines biohacking and speculative design to demonstrate the entrenched ways in which estrogen is a biomolecule with institutional biopower. lt is a form of biotechnical civil disobedience, seeking to subvert dominant biopolitical agents of hormonal management, knowledge production, and anthropogenic toxicity.

Oficina de Biohacking "Genômica: Extraindo DNA da banana" ocorreu no Cantagalo em parceria com o Viva Rio no dia 25 de outubro de 2016. As crianças puderam visualizar o DNA da banana a partir de materiais do cotidiano.

Interaction designer Sara Krugman and Project Manager at University of Copenhagen's Center for Synthetic Biology assemble the openPCR machine acquired for the 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion. The machine will join the museum collection when no longer in use by the biohackers and event participants. Photo to be credited to Martin Malthe Borch.
The 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion followed the principle of using what you have to hand - from discarded University lab furniture and items from the museum stores, to instruments from local hackerspace Labitat and Rüdiger Trojok's homelab in Germany, and cheap purchases from IKEA, Amazon, and local stores. Luggage labels in the exhibition reveal these diverse origins. Photograph to be credited to Louise Whiteley.
Visitors to the opening of the 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion handle Rüdiger Trojok's gene gun prototype. The gene gun was invented in 1983-1986, and is a simple device that is key to many synthetic biology experiments, delivering gold particles coated with DNA into plants or other organisms - but it cannot be used outside authorized labs.
