Subject: 64'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 64'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 21.1 C during this run. I tried 2 tsp honey again, to see
if lightning would strike twice. Black rice, and walnut/potato powders
were also rechecked.
    Walnut/potato proved to be a disappointment this time, but black rice,
and honey again offered a benefit. I had hopes for everlasting flower, due
to its name, but although I was impressed by its brilliant yellow color,
the flies did not seem especially fond of it.
