		<description><![CDATA[I recently collected a newly laid clutch of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)eggs for a photographic study of their development and I isolated three of them for the photos. I placed the three individuals and the remaining few hundred BSF from that clutch into identical containers. I didn&#8217;t keep detailed records, but there is an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I spent over six hours shooting video to capture this five second long event. I&#8217;m not really sure what value it has other than general coolness. After exiting the pupa it ran to the outside of the bowl and spent about 10 minutes inflating it&#8217;s wings. Soon I hope to record that process [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can I guarantee that you won&#8217;t get sick from contact with black soldier flies? There is no species of animal on Earth that could live up to that guarantee, but researchers agree that black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) are not disease carrying pests like common filth flies. Black soldier flies are different I can understand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MAY 30 Today I harvested the first of the prepupal black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) from this year&#8217;s colony. At this stage their instinct is to leave the food source and find a suitable place to pupate. I don&#8217;t know much about this part of the BSF life cycle so I want to find [...]]]></description>
