a size of a fishing maggot :lol: :lol: thats not a fruit fly thats probably a blue bottle fly.What the heck is a blue bottle maggot doing in your culture?if i was u i would email them and ask them why?because its not nornall.i guess it woulnt matter but im no fly expert. but strange why its there?hi guys it look like i can upload pics again so heres a fly culture purchased from exotic pets.p.s is it normal to have a big maggot in there? i used when chinese first hatched then left a few in to continue then noticed othere day a large maggot like the size of a fishing maggot.
i agree, i make all my own. however i hadnt had small nymphs for months so had discontinued all my cultures and needed some flies to get going again. i use mash potato, sugar and yeast. as for mites, i find they never get to enough numbers to become a problem. well, not until the culture dries up, then they do take over.make your own culture in future..there easy to do and for some reason they tend to be alot better when there home made.
mites?all tho mites aint as big as woodlice.. :lol:hi guys just a quick question concerning the ffc's. i noticed other day not only the big maggot but when i opened the culture there were weird looking bugs all round the culture.they were simular shape the the english woodlouse,only little smaller and were like a house brick red colour.ive thrown my cultures away now and got more on order from different place just wondered if anyone had this before.
yeh well they were i threw em all away didnt like the look of them bugs, they aint no fly lava im sure. i know theres different species ov fly but after maggot you got the casters which are smooth and crusty and they dont move.thats prior to hatchin flys from fishin maggots n i cannot see why these would be any different.Your pupae are mobile too???
