Puzzle Description:

T4 Bacteriophage! I love these little guys. These are viruses that infect bacteria, this particular one infects Escherichia coli (E. coli).

LOL!!!!!

awesome puzzle, from a fellow science nerd! :)

Funny idea for a picture! Is there the makings of a series here? Thanks for the puzzle.

I thought they were mosquitoes

Umm, gross, yet fascinating. When this virus invades the bacteria, does it kill the bacteria? Would that make it a "good" virus?

Oh, I need to add: This was a really fun puzzle to solve.

I wonder how it looks when bacteria sneezes.

Thanks for the info, Ergodyne. I know that there are both "good" and "bad" bacteria. But in your puzzle, E. coli is a bacteria that I would rather not have active in my gut.

I growth bacteria for living and it all for natural supplement or yoghurt base. Everything we growth end up in our body and help regulate the digestive system

But people look to you strange when you told them you growth bacteria they all think I'm making Antrax or something.

Do you want a little spoon of ebola with your cofee ???
