Ladies and Gentlemen - The Amazing Black Soldier Fly (BSF)

Some of you may know them as Phoenix Worms.  Imagine this, a 95% reduction in the weight and volume of any organic waste including putrescent meat, and 25% conversion to dry biomass that is 42% protein.  Testing has shown that their presence results in a 100 fold reduction in the presence of E.Coli and other bacteria.  As little as 1% dry matter added to foods completely stops the process of fermentation.

They make EXCELLENT fish and poultry food, repel other fly species, self harvest, the adults cannot feed and do not spread disease, and one square meter of feeding area can consume 15 KILOGRAMS of waste in ONE DAY!  They are truly an amazing creatures.  Some animal farms have started using them to process chicken and swine manure.
