| Hello, I want to share with you a very strange fly I found today. It definitely seems like it is from the same family as the BSF. I'd like your feedback on what you think it could be the exact species. The wings look just like BSF. The belly is yellow with 3 black diamond-shaped spots as a "bel... |

| Hi, I would ask you, do you plan to just raise the larvae or are you planning to make the breeding? For the first I would say any place is perfect, if it's dark enough and has some in/out "door" for the flies. For the second it would be much more complicate, and as BorealWormer says, you w... |

| First, I wonder if the fly you saw was a BSF or a similar one whose eggs hatch faster. Second I wonder if there is a possibility that some larvae crawled up looking for a way out and accidentally detached the eggs from their place (don't worry, they are not cannivals). Then I have a tip: you could t... |

Oh maybe I got too late with the contact details, nevermind if it's too complicate.

Sure, I am already alert for more BSF, I'll post here if I find any. |
