Flightless house flies (Curly wing flies)

$10- 10 grams (500 pupae)

$40- 100 grams (5,000 pupae)

$200- 1 kg (50,000 pupae)

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: -Do not keep below 50 degrees as pupae! A nice cool spot in a garage is plenty to try and slow the pupae down a bit.
-Once hatched keep the flies in nice WARM spot. We recommend a heat lamp. Feed a diet of dried buttermilk or powdered sugar and offer water crystals. Adults flies should last about 2 weeks.

NOTE: These flies are flightless. Naturally a few will fly when they first hatch. You can take the container outside and release the flying ones. The remainder will be curly wing flies and a lot easier to feed than normal house flies.


1 gram is 50 pupae.
10 grams (500 pupae)
100 grams (5,000 pupae)
1 kg (50,000 pupae)

Each pupae is one fly.


These guys go fast for me!

I try and keep back stock, but there maybe a wait of a week due to their breeding cycle.  
 
I breed all my flies on a all vegetable diet.
