Black soldier fly

The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is a species of fly known for its ability to efficiently convert organic waste into valuable protein and fat. The larvae of this fly thrive on decaying material, making them excellent for composting food scraps and agricultural waste. As a sustainable solution for waste management and animal feed, they can reduce landfill contributions and provide an eco-friendly protein source for livestock and aquaculture. Additionally, they play a role in organic recycling, contributing to soil health when their frass (larval residue) is used as fertilizer.
