While looking up phoenix worms a while back I stumbled upon this thread. I was inspired to start my own black soldier fly project. Unfortunately my first attempt in early spring failed. I put out too little food and let it get dried out. I found about three black larvae in my collection cup, but those were probably ones I had seeded. As of about a week ago I have started a new attempt. This time I am paying more attention to the conditions of my colony. So far I've only got fruit flies and house flies. I saw a bsf in my yard last summer so I know they live around here. I just ordered some larvae to seed it because I'm impatient. Hopefully it works out this time. It's strange to be so excited about maggots. Anyway thanks for the inspiration GW.
Oh and by the way I'm amazed you were actually able to get BSF mating on video.
