Question about how to store feeder house flies

[Pearson Realize]

How long can you store house fly pupae in the fridge until they no longer become usable? And how do you store them after they "hatch" or whatever it's called with them? I ordered from joshfrogs.com but they sent me the wrong number and the flies were no longer pupae, and I want to know if I put them in the fridge or what. They're in the tiny cup that's meant for them only as pupa right now and I don't want them to die because of lack of space or anything.

As long as there is air (pinholes) in container they should be ok.

Just put them in the fridge and take out as needed. It will just make them dormant for a while. l Have also has GB flies last for weeks this way. When you want to feed them just wake them up and drip some liquid honey inside the container.
