Conversion of organic material by black soldier fly larvae: establishing optimal feeding rates (2009, methodology): “Females oviposited in the flutes of strips of corrugated cardboard which were attached to the wall of a bucket containing wet chicken feed as an attractant (as proposed by Tomberlin & Sheppard 2002).”
Relative Humidity Effects on the Life History of Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) (2012, methodology): “New diets for production for production of house-ßies and stable ßies (Diptera, Muscidae) in the laboratory.”
Bioconversion of organic wastes into biodiesel and animal feed via insect farming (2016, background): “Females lay a single clutch of eggs for two days after mating [18] and resulting eggs hatch in approximately four days [12].”
Review of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Animal Feed and Human Food (2017, methodology): “5 × 3 m nylon cages in 7 × 9 × 5 m greenhouses with sunlight and adequate space for adults to mate in the air [144], yet egg production has been recorded in cages as small as 27 × 27 × 27 cm [145].”
Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review (2017, background): “25 60-70 99 Gobbi, 2012; Holmes et al., 2012; Tomberlin and Sheppard, 2002 Substrate moisture (”
Biological Treatment of Municipal Organic Waste using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (2011, background): “Over the past 20 years, the biology of H. illucens has been studied extensively, especially regarding its use in waste management and protein production [8, 11–13].”
Conversion of organic wastes into fly larval biomass: bottlenecks and challenges (2015, background): “illucens is the dependence on direct sunlight, as it encourages mating (Tomberlin and Sheppard, 2002; Zhang et al., 2010).”
Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens and effects on its life cycle (2015, unknown): “The room was fitted with two windows as direct sunlight is crucial for successful mating (Tomberlin and Sheppard, 2002).”
