yeah i cant find them on his list so i dont think he does...
Yes he said he did not have abig call for them so he gave them up. I do wish someone sold the crickets, fly puapea and the like together to save on shipping. I spend more on shipping than I do on food! Spelling on puapea wrong, but I can't say it either :lol:

Anyone in California buy from Grubco?
I have been using ups express mail when ordering from grubco, priority mail just couldn't work as all fly larvae turn out dead under intense Texas heat.
I don't bye the fly from there cause I don't want the maggots, they make my skin crawl!
Rebecca, where did you get yours from?
Anyone knows any shop selling blue bottle pupa? i can only find fly larvae. WIsh spiderpharm sells blue bottle pupa too.

http://www.forkedtreeranch.com I haven't ordered them yet Yen. But I've been looking at this site, Only one I can find. I want to order some but minimum order is 3 cups at almost 10.00 a cup. So I was waiting to have enough large mantis to feed these to before ordering, I think I am ready now to try them out, when I do I will post back here for you guys!
Thanks for the info Rebecca, i will give them a try.
I love Grubco as well, but I haven't found anyone that sells just the pupae, either. However, the maggots don't 'bug' me too much (haha--no pun intended! Sorry gang, just had to say it)
I cultured my own house flies once via Spiderpharm method--I'm not sure if one can do it this way with blue bottles? (My conclusion with the houseflies was as follows: "Just let Chuck at Spiderpharm work his magic!" LOL)

I just got mine too and at least half had pupated. They only ship Mon.-Wed. and I had ordered last Thurs. I'm not thrilled with Grubco but the other places require larger purchase orders, etc. I order because they have what I need, not because I like them. Customer service is lacking, IMO.
