We have compiled a series of practical on how to eBooks in document format available for purchase which provide detailed information on the propagation, management and maintenance of a Black Soldier fly nursery, how to build a food scrap recycling bin in processing food scrap waste, information on the biology of the Black Soldier fly, and related recycling applications.
This e-Books is based on scientific and practical knowledge gained through in depth observations on the characteristics and behavior of Black Soldier flies, and studies relating to the decomposition of biodegradable waste materials. If you want to set up a Black Soldier fly nursery designed to propagate Black Soldier flies, for example, you may want to read our e-Book.
Black Soldier flies, unlike the common house fly, do not spread diseases.
They avoid houses, preferring instead to habitat outdoors. Adults do not feed on waste, and live for no more than four or five days at most after emerging from their chrysalis, just long enough to find a mate. After mating, females lay upwards of 500 or more eggs in clutches near decaying organic waste.
Larvae spawned from the eggs rapidly consume the waste, mineralizing it as they grow, and advance into a pre-pupa stage at which point they crawl (self-harvest) free of the waste and off to a hiding place under rocks or other quiet spaces. There they undergo metamorphosis, emerging free of their chrysalis some three weeks or so after entering the pupa stage (under optimal growth conditions conducive to metamorphosis) as adults ready to repeat the cycle over again.
Larvae have proven value as poultry and fish meal. Their exoskeleton is comprised of high quality chitin of known medical value as a starting product in the production of chitosan. Processed leachate derived from the liquid released in decaying organic wastes on which larvae feed furthermore
has beneficial effects on the growth of plants.
