So I had a colony collapse. It looks like all the smaller maggots have dissappeared and the only ones I can find in abundance in my unit are larger maggots just before the pupa stage. I had a bunch of brown-rice/vermiculite cakes from a different project that started to rot, so I tossed them into the bsf unit. Within a day or two my maggot population crashed. I don't know if that was the cause of it but it's the only new thing I've introduced. Since the maggot population has declined I've seen an abundance of some tiny whitish insects that move around pretty quickly. I was wondering if they ate the vermiculite if it would be bad for them in the same way diatomaceous earth is..?
