I have read about the methuselah fly experiment and the Russian fox breeding experiment. Why haven't any researchers attempted to breed flys or fleas or some other short lifespan insect to be much much larger, or maybe for some other characteristic? How could I conduct such an experiment?

So is combustion only possible with oxygen? Is there any other type of "fire" or flame that doesn't involve oxygen?
