Not that I know anything other than watching You tube videos but the larvae move towards the light and I don't think they would see much through that pipe corner. Also there needs to be a few drainage holes in the bottom. Loving Chub Chub.

If the pupae crawl up the ramp into the collection bottle, how will any be left to turn into flys and move up to the netting area? Do the adult flys die in the betting area or do you release them once in a while?

@@mayajasinski5972 GEEZZZZ....people get so offended nowadays. I LOVE this woman's approach, her frugality is commendable, I am also frugal, and it is a WINNING strategy in a world where prices have skyrocketed in the past 4 years. Adventurous? Another wonderful adjective meaning free-spirited, willing to take risks, a great characteristic especially in a world where women are often thought of as unable to do things like this on their own. As for your quote that I don't understand b/c I don't have the experience, I too made a BSLF breeder and FAILED miserably until I watched this wonderful video. After taking VALTARI's advice, I now have a working breeder for my own hens. How about you self-reflect as to why you're offended by so much???

So I'm doing one outside. I spent $8 to buy small BSFL to get it started, but supposedly if I just waited 2-3 weeks, I would have attracted them naturally. What's my point? If you're doing this outside, you shouldn't need netting to capture them so they don't fly away and you should be able to attract them naturally. HOWEVER, in the winter time, I LOVE the idea of still being able to do this, by capturing them in the netting. Awesome idea. Now, how to do so and not freak the rest of the family out! hahahahahahahaha

This is intriguing. I assume the 4 stages (egg, larva, pupa, adult) overlap, so how does one keep the moths from flying out when you want to remove some larvae for lizard or fish food? Also, do you need to change the cardboard from time to time? How often? Why old fashioned oats and not quick oats? Does it have to be raw honey or is grocery store brand OK?

Awesome cinematography and information! I have been thinking for a long time of making a system which is effectively identical to what you've constructed here. I would be interested in a future video of yours to see how your system is holding up and see it in action some more, a bit of a retrospective, ie do you think this is the best design for small-scale non-commercial applications, or what would you change if you were to remake it? Much thanks!

6:03 that is waaaaaaay too wet for the larvae. It's better for the bedding/substrate of BSF larvae to be a little too dry, than to be too wet. Other fly species don't mind or prefer or even require sopping wet substrate, but not Black Soldier Flies. I suggest mixing in Saw Dust (rehydrated pellets used for (food) grill smokers) to help absorb excess water/waste. I personally love adding in some lump hardwood charcoal broken up into smaller pieces. Activated Carbon would be better and less work, but it costs a huge amount more money and probably isn't much different for this purpose. A huge back of lump hardwood charcoal is $12-$30 (usually around $16-$18) for 8 to 20 lbs and would leave you with plenty to spare. While Activated Carbon for a 9oz container is around $8, which is less than 1 lb. Since we aren't trying to purify water with it, any absorbing done by regular lump hardwood charcoal will be beneficial enough, just don't pulverize it into dust, make the pieces around the size of a golf ball or as small as 1/4 that, of course any size is better than nothing if you just want to toss in whatever pieces you want.

It's always great to see a new take on a BSF bin ... Just PLEASE everyone try to understand just how easy these amazing insects are to raise.. You don't need mosquito netting, wood that will rot in the elements, fancy swinging latches, etc ... As an extreme example, there is a 'biopod' (i.e. plastic container with an incline) that sells for over $200 dollars... That is pretty crazy when you look at how many quality HDPE plastic containers there are everywhere as on a bike ride, I found a 35 lb kitty litter container that someone tossed out.. It works great with a few small holes drilled in the sides below the rim and also the bottom, with a bungie cord to keep the racoons out... The main point is, take advantage of the unbelievable hardiness of these creatures and know you can build a great fixture for them with very minimal materials... Also: if your colony conditions has sludge in it (like at the 6 min mark in this video); you need more drainage/ more aeration... I'm not trying to be critical, but that amount of sludge is a little gross and might prevent newcomers from starting up their own setup.. Drainage and Aeration are really the only two things to think about, and they go hand in hand... (The fact that the BSF can survive in those conditions is a testiment to just how hardy they are)
@FusionDeveloper Жыл бұрын
Correct. BSF larvae will flee from muddy food. I suggest adding hardwood sawdust (from grill pellets) and some lump hardwood charcoal (broken into stone sized pieces) to help absorb liquids and odors. I also personally add some calcium carbonate powder, since i have an excessive amount to use.

@@FusionDeveloper Awesome man.. yeah I saw you post a question about artficial lighting, where she uses 120 watt daylight floodlights.. If a regular plain jane led bulb like hers works, which I believe it does, then I have no clue why all the 'bsf lights' that are sold online for 180+ dollars claim you need uva and possibly a little uvb.. With it being October near saint louis here, it's getting kind of late to start any experiment but anyways yeah when I took the flies from the shade to the sunlight today (I have them in a small tent), they went from statues to active fliers, moving everywhere.. Kind of strange how most of their life they do everything to avoid light, but then when they become flies, light instantly activates them.. Have you had any success finding an led? I looked into a 26 watt one from lucky herp brand, which comes in 5.0, 10.0, or 15.0% uvb in addition to uva depending on the model you want, though now that the one video of the lady in the green as well as the guy from nigeria are simoly using straight up, ordinary flood lights, I don't know if leds with uva or uvb, or any combination of the two is really necessary. As an aside, of the 3% of uv sunlight that gets through the ozone, 95% is uva and only 5% is uvb... Anyways, I might hang a light inside of a trash can with a cracked lid, maybe add a wet towel at the bottom for some humidity (not that it's dry in october) and a small container at the bottom with an apple and a little cardboard.. I'll send you some links of the stuff I'm referencing tomorrow if you haven't already found what I'm talking about.. Yeah, all in all the lighting seems to be the most finicky or what not, though I haven't tried yet, just relying on the babies I find in the food scraps outdoors..

Literally anything. Any kind of Kitchen scraps probably work best. Even meat and dairy. Paper, cardboard, and garden scraps also work. I had one in college that started on it own .
