[RIPTAPEuser132]

are bsf in all parts of the united states including rhode island?

[BlackSoldierFly]

BSF are most present in the southeast through Texas and up the west coast all the way to Vancouver. I know there are wild populations in norther Virginia but I'm not sure about Rhode Island. I would guess that they aren't common there but I recently learned they're in central Illinois which was a surprise. The best way to find out if BSF are in your area is to talk with people that compost kitchen scraps. The larvae are very common in compost piles.

thanks so much!

Haha, the frog brought his girlfriend to lunch.

Keeping chickens is becoming very popular and they love to eat BSF larvae. There is an article coming out in the October/November issue of Backyard Poultry magazine introducing people to BSF, the BioPod, and my blog (yea!)

The whole process sounds pretty neat (raising larva for composting, then feeding them to toads/fish with a few for breeding).

i found this thru some website.. i gots fire bellied toads.. what kind is that one

[BlackSoldierFly]

I think they're regular toads. :P I mean Bufo americanus or something. There are about 10 million of them around my place. I think I have so many because there's a pond close by.
