GIANT MICROBES PETRI DISH
HOUSE FLY (Musca domestica)

11/22/21 UPDATE: The folks at GIANT MICROBES recently cleaned out one of their closets and discovered all sorts of loose and unidentified diseases, along with a few old friends, such as 2 HOUSE FLY PETRI DISHES, which had been part of trade show displays, but were partially opened by nosey customers who got caught!  Each is still about half factory sealed and the microbes inside are fine and undamaged.  These will be the last ones that we send out, so if/when only 1 is or 2 are still available, it WILL be these.

Years ago, Giant Microbes produced a line of Mini-microbes, packing 3 of the same microbe together in a clever "Petri Dish" packaging display.  Obviously, Science Teachers LOVED them, while everyone else...not so much.  Since our main customer base has always been Science Teachers, we sold a ton of these.  However, most folks seemed more interested in the larger "regular sized" selections.  The most common criticism/complaint from most "normal people" (As you suspected, Science Teachers do NOT fit into this category...and helps to explain why we LOVE THEM!) was that they didn't want 3 of the same microbe, instead wanting an assortment.  As a result, this line was retired.  HOWEVER, this led to the EXTREMELY popular series of "Theme Boxes" which continue to be best sellers to this day.  We have dug out what is left of our inventory from the "Petri Days" to offer all that we have left.  If you would like to see more detailed photos (along with some general fun and silliness) from our regular size listing, please click HERE.  I am NOT going to open these to provide photos of each individual microbe.  SORRY!

All new materials ONLY

Stuffed with Polyester Fibers

Approximately 3" long , 1 1/2" wide, and 1" tall (body).
(Legs, wings and other protrusions can NOT be even remotely measured in a sealed package!)
These measurements are estimates ONLY as I am NOT opening these packages to be more accurate.

Each Giant Microbes HOUSE FLY Petri Dish contains a close-up photo of the actual pest (BEFORE SWATTING!)
as well as educational (and INTERESTING!) information inside.
 
Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!  NOT THIS TIME!  This is big enough!
For anyone with a healthy sense of humor...especially when the hand IS quicker than the fly!
(PLEASE NOTE:  The Fly does NOT find the humor in this!)

A NOTE ABOUT GIANT MICROBES:  We carry almost the complete line of Giant Microbes products (including many retired designs) and have since the company first began.  It is going to take a while for us to get them all up and listed on here but we ARE working on it.  In the meantime...if you need any that we haven't listed on here yet, feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability.  Yes, we usually have plenty!

These are original, fully licensed designs that I am selling for $39.95 each which includes free shipping to anywhere in the U.S.  You can combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped.  This refund reflects my savings in postage fees by combining your orders and is based on the total weight of the items.  International buyers are eligible for the multi-item discount (WHEN YOU USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS IN A SINGLE PAYMENT!) and receive free shipping to the Global Shipping Program Center in Kentucky, USA, but are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges.  Any questions?  Contact me.
