Most incubators are used to provide a controlled temperature (and sometimes a controlled humidity. Usually, this is about body temperature, 37C, through a thermostat. This is the most suitable temperature for most bacteria in culture media. That is also the best temperature for developing fruit-fly larvae.

Some incubators have two ranges, 0-100C and 100-200C: the higher scale is good, for example, when you wish to assess the dry weight or organic matter: heat at 105C to dry stuff out, while at the same time, not breaking down sugars.

A colleague of mine once set out to culture some fruit-flies, but chose the wrong range, creating a previously unknown variety, the crispy frizzled-wing fruit-fly.
