When composting with BSF larvae, go for some fruits/veggies and never let any liquid pool inside if you don't want it to smell. The high-protein stuff like

Many growers have experienced the early death of black soldier flies sometimes only hours after pupation. In the morning the flies buzz around & land on the netting around the

Black soldier fly's slow pupation may due to the temperature being too hot or too cold, the foods, and sometimes human interference. Here are some possible reasons below:

The reasons black soldier fly larvae may be growing slow & small may be because of the foods, the space for each larvae or the temperature & humidity. Together, let&

When feeding black soldier fly larvae to little chicks, we're more careful about how much larvae to feed them. For bigger chicks, they'll do fine with

To get about 1 kg of black soldier fly larvae, the food input can be around 3-5 kg daily. The amount varies depending on how many larvae are in one

Housefly larvae are usually much smaller than black soldier flies larvae. The housefly maggots writhe & wiggle in a slightly faster and more erratic movement–like a zigzag line. Whereas

Houseflies & ants are usually attracted to the BSF box because of the smell of the foods for them. As the houseflies lay eggs on the food, their little maggots

One major part of harvesting black soldier fly larvae is the sifting out of the larvae & the frass. The frass is basically the remaining mixture of undigested foods, the

When packaging your BSF eggs for shipping, take into account the temperature, the moisture, the food for the nearly-born babies & the movement shock along the way. Let's

Incubating BSF eggs is in general a simple & easy process. The thing to keep in mind is not to over-complicate things. There's only a few heads-ups to

To make a good black soldier fly love cage, we can measure out the space, the enclosure materials, the density of flies, etc. Let's see some ideas to

One reason why black soldier flies are not mating may be because of the density in the raising area or the love cages. With many flies in one place (this

To attract black soldier fly, you can use foods that give off quite a strong smell. Rotting fish, chicken, bad eggs, old veggies are good attractants. This signals to the

Black soldier flies are good for composting. They help break down foods that are 10 times their weight. The process happens for 5-10 days, which is much faster than traditional

When raising BSF larvae for chickens, growers usually concern about how much larvae to raise, what to feed them, the feeding costs and when to harvest the larvae. If you&

If you get the larvae when they have already hatched, then you can get straight to the feeding stage. If you get the BSF started from eggs, then let'

To tell whether the black soldier fly eggs have hatched or not, you can look at the color of the eggs and their texture. The fresh eggs are usually light

Black soldier flies (BSF) can be used to treat bio-waste. Their larvae are incredibly efficient at converting waste into a good source of proteins & fats. About 1 kilo of

If the BSF larvae have turned black or charcoal and are non-moving, then they may be in a state ready to turn into flies. They usually lie still on day

Black soldier fly larvae eat just about anything organic-based or perishable. Decaying fish, meat, animals are good protein sources for the larvae. Kitchen scraps like carrots, banana, zucchini, spent barley,

The reasons why BSF may not be laying eggs can be looked at from several perspectives. One reason is perhaps the mama may not be physically strong enough. They may

Starting the cycle from laying eggs, a female black soldier fly can lay around 500-800 eggs (0.0125-0.02 grams) in her lifespan. After laying the eggs, the female will
