Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review (2017, background): “40 52-70 70 Fatchurochim et al., 1989; Furman et al., 1959; Tomberlin et al., 2002 Light intensity1 60 135-200 - Alvarez, 2012; Holmes, 2010; Tomberlin and Sheppard, 2002; Zhang et al., 2010 1 Light intensity is expressed in μmol/m2/s and affects mating and egg fertilisation of BSF.”
Conversion of organic material by black soldier fly larvae: establishing optimal feeding rates (2009, background): “During this dispersal phase, prepupae can easily be harvested by simply constricting their dispersion paths (Sheppard 2002, Tomberlin et al. 2002).”
Technical handbook of domestication and production of Diptera Black Soldier Fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, Stratiomyidae (2014, background): “Males are smaller than females (Tomberlin et al., 2002) and an anatomic difference on the last abdominal segment enables to discriminate between genders.”
Fish offal recycling by the black soldier fly produces a foodstuff high in omega-3 fatty acids (2007, background): “It required almost 2 mo for eggs to develop into prepupae in this study, whereas other researchers report 4–6 wk when larvae are fed poultry manure (Tomberlin et al. 2002).”
The effects of larval diet on adult life-history traits of the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) (2013, methodology): “…traits of adults varies (Liu et al., 2008), depending on the quantity and quality of the food supplied to them as larvae, as the adults do not feed (Tomberlin et al., 2002) Geometric analysis of the size of the wings is a widely used method for studying the effect of the quality of larval food on…”
Bioconversion of organic wastes into biodiesel and animal feed via insect farming (2016, background): “The pupation stage usually lasts for two weeks under ideal environmental conditions [12,30,31].”
