| Discovery Notes | I went to my Grandfathers worm bin as he maintains it regularly and makes sure that the worms are well fed and always have fresh food scrapes to consume and I thought that that environment would be the best place to host a Phage |
| Naming Notes | I named this phage Gaga as that is what I used to call my Grandfather when I was young and since I found it at his house I thought it would be cool if it was named after him. |
