Influence of diet on black soldier fly (hermetia illucens linnaeus) (diptera: stratiomyidae) life history traits
The Black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is a large 2cm long fly that is native to North America. Larvae are naturally found consuming a wide range of decomposing organic material and therefore has a potential to be used as an agent for waste management. Larvae …
