These are amazing! For almost a year, I had earthworms in my compost bin, and today, I opened it up to find it filled with these critters. I have no idea where they came from, but I am glad to know that they are safe and found a home in the right place!
The BSF will deposit their full load of eggs in the cardboard flutes. Without the cardboard, they tend to sort of scatter then around. I've done some counts based on incubating and hatching isolated egg clusters and it seems to average between 600 and 650 eggs per cluster.
Wow! How many initial larvae did you start up your compost bins with? I just ordered about 300+ phoenix fly larvae from Pheonix Fly .com and so am curious how big of a bin I need for them if I am planning to give them my 6+ babies droppings and kitchen scraps to compost. And like the previous post I would love to know the details of how you constructed your wooded bin, and how you plan to market your grubs out.
hay friend. i have a biopod unit here in australia. but i am so impressed with your home made unit. could you help me out with the design of your wood structure? what glue is safe to use that wont hard the grubs? hope to hear back from you

Hey. Do you have a coating on the plywood bins for BSF or are they just straight up untreated?

your egg batteries are massive. Would you be able to get the same size without all that cardboard?
