[QUOTE="john57, post: 317911, member: 10831"] I prefer Black Solder flies over Blue Bottle flies. For two reasons, first they last a bit longer in the fly state in the fridge but they do take much longer to emerge from the pupa stage. Second they move and fly much slower than BB files. I lost my first Devil Flower due to a flying BB fly that collided with my Devil Flower breaking legs and she fell. In blink of a eye she is gone. I had a large order of BSF but the supplier send me pre-pupa BSF instead of pupa as I requested. It was taking a very long time for the pre-pupa just to change into pupa then to flies. I ran out of house flies and just had BB flies on hand and lost my Devil Flower and she was happy, conformable, great personality and well feed in the environment controlled terrarium setup just for her and she molted twice. My next tank which has my six violin mantis did not like the BB flies slaming into them but did not lose anyone in that tank. It is a bit of a challenge to have a steady supply of flies so far.
