Right, I have an idea
and was wondering about a couple of questions.
1 ) Do bluebottles need light to culture them, or will they happily culture in dark?
2 ) How much air flow is needed within a culture?
Basically I have an idea of setting up a culture in something like a spare faunarium, but because I live in a little village, I have neighbours, so the smell wouldn't be great.
My idea? place the culture inside a polystyrene box to keep the smell in and the cold out in winter, almost so it acts as a self generating incubator with the heat given off by the maggots keeping too much cold out, however this will restrict air flow and be in complete darkness.
Will it work?
Any ideas?
