“the compost piranha”

We are now working with the black soldier fly (BSF) and Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) in our compost. When it comes to an efficient compost organism the BSFL are about the most efficient at eating/chewing 99% of what goes into the compost. We have instructions below available to build your own larva bin or you can get the “EZ BSF Larva Lab” a new product on our website that we designed. This is specifically made for feeding/raising/harvesting the larvae. The full lifecycle of the black soldier fly can be as little as 5 weeks and as long as 8 months (depending on temperature and food availability).

Live black soldier fly larvae (bsfl), size: small

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are used to compost waste or convert the waste into animal feed. The fras created is a great fertilizer for your garden/plants. In the larvae stage they convert the waste they are fed into protein and fat (this is the larvae). Great for feeding to birds, reptiles, fish…

The small larvae average 1/4” and smaller. Average weight is between .005-.01 grams.

The shipping is already included in the price. We ship Larvae every Tuesday and Friday. If you are shipping to a PO box, do not select hold for pick up. There is an extra charge for the “hold for pick up” on small orders since this option requires priority mail.

Medium Live Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Medium feeder size larvae are great for feeding your reptiles, fish and chickens. They are high in protein, calcium and other essential nutrients for your animals. The medium larvae are also great for buying in larger quantities and growing to the larger size. This is when their appetite is the most voracious and they grow fast.

Medium larvae are 1/4” to 5/8” in size. Average weight is .025-.035 grams each. 15,000 larvae = approx 1 lb.

XL Black Soldier fly larvae
from $24.00

Extra large BSF larvae are 1” and larger. Average weight is .1 gram or higher. This may be for a limited time since BSF larvae tend to grow larger in the winter while they are waiting for the best time to pupate. To make it easier and to save you $ we are selling the XL by ounce and pound increments (average 200+ per ounce/ 3,200+ per lb).

Live Black Solider Fly Pupa
from $24.00

Pupa weight is .07 - .09 grams each (averaged for count). When it comes to an efficient compost organism the BSFL are about the most efficient at eating/chewing 99% of what goes into the compost. The large pre-pupa (black and still moving, i.e. pupa = cocoon stage not moving) are still great for feeding at this stage and are also ready to pupate into becoming flies for breeding purposes. I also hear that the axolotl salamander like to eat the flies. Once the larva becomes a fly it lives for only eight days.
