We didn't use any ether. We used CO2 and ice. It worked pretty well, most of the time, as long as we put them on the ice right away.
I never got to see a fruit fly lay an egg, cool. I wish I got to see that.
We had to dissect out the salivary glands of the larvae to see their giant chromosomes. Good thing my hands weren't as shaky back them.
