Product description
About Black Soldier Fly larvae
What will eat them?
Black Soldier Fly larvae make a great staple food or treat for Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Poison Dart Frogs, Crested Geckos, Day Geckos, turtles, and any other bug loving critters out there!
What are they?
Black Soldier Fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) are also known in the trade as Phoenix Worms, ReptiWorms, and CalciWorms.
Are they easy to keep?
Yes! Soldier Fly Larvae don’t need anything more than the coco fiber they are shipped in. They can be kept at room temperature, but keeping them at 55-65F will keep them in the larval stage for about 4-6 weeks.
Highly nutritious! High in Calcium High in Protein High in Amino Acids (especially Lysine) Contains Omega-3 Fatty Acids Contains Lauric Acid Low in Phosphorus
How to Feed:
They are ready to feed out as soon as they arrive, but you may rinse them before feeding to remove excess coco fiber. Feed Soldier Fly Larvae with tongs, or in a dish.
Be careful not to allow Soldier Fly Larvae to escape the dish – the larvae will burrow and pupate into adult flies. Once the worms begin to pupate (if they’re not eaten by then), they’ll turn black. At this stage, the larvae contain a LOT of calcium, and should be quickly fed to your pets.
After they pupate, the larvae emerge as adult Black Soldier Flies, which resemble small wasps. Even though they look intimidating, Black Soldier Flies are harmless.

Tiny
I didnât know they were so tiny you could barely see them

Dead live product
They were dead when they arrived.
Dustin –
Most were DOA
Unfortunately seemed like a lot of these larvae were deceased or at least didn’t move. The ones that did my little frog seem to love, he couldn’t get enough of the delicious taste apparently.I like that my frog loved the larvae, but I feel like the quality and quantity was not there.
Greg Vazquez –
Great way to start you own colony
I was amazed at how fast they grew. I have had many turn to pupea and then to bsf starting the cycle over again. I will definitely recommend buying a starter culture like this to begin a BSFL colony

Ordered 50, received less. Customer service came through
I ordered 50 small larvae and I received nine larvae, four of which were small (the others were too large), and one of the nine was dead (which is to be expected; I donât expect all to survive transport). My issue is I ordered *50* and I received (essentially) *four.*Update: I heard back from customer service right away and they shipped out a new batch for me!
