The flies live well in the humid climate regions such as our state, Louisiana. They are excellent decomposers.

Their larvae are voracious to many kinds of materials (organic matters) such as:
food (kitchen) scraps
- manure
- rotting flesh of dead animals.

Hence, the larvae voracity potentially to break down waste, and then convert it into valuable nutrients.

Louisiana State University (LSU) has studied the potential use of black soldier flies in production of animal feed, waste management and production of biofuel.

Do you recognize this kind of fly?

  4. Boa noite amiga
    As moscas são muito chatas. Principalmente no calor. Invadem as casas e são incómodas.
    Independentemente disso, este teu post tem ótimas informações sobre as mesmas moscas.

    Deixo os meus votos de boa noite, e ótima semana com tudo de bom.
    Beijinhos!

  8. Le mosche che ci sono qui da me, in Sardegna, sono diverse. Seppur fastidiose, anche loro sono utili in natura.
    Un saluto e buon weekend 😘

  10. Google I.D is not always good or really reliable. It is also made by humans and it looks similar, but according to observation.nl this is the Window Fly - Scenopinus fenestralis

  19. A mosca soldado negro!
    Suas larvas são excelentes decompositoras, alimentando-se de diversos tipos de matéria orgânica, incluindo restos de comida, esterco e carne em decomposição.
    Essa voracidade permite que elas decomponham resíduos e os convertam em nutrientes valiosos, desempenhando um papel importante no ciclo de reciclagem de nutrientes.

    Interessantíssimo!

    Foi-me diagnosticado o vírus do herpes no ano de 2010, pelo que a minha vida ficou devastada, já não faço ideia do que poderia fazer da minha vida até que me deparei com uma velha amiga minha, a Tiffany, com quem estudámos juntos nessa altura na faculdade, era afro-americana. expliquem-lhe o meu atual estado de saúde, ela riu-se e disse que não é um problema porque conhece um fitoterapeuta tradicional africano que me vai curar completamente com um fitoterápico. deu o endereço de e-mail do fitoterapeuta drjekawo@gmail.com O Dr Jekawo respondeu ao meu e-mail e eu fiquei muito feliz e ele explicou como seria o tratamento durante 25 dias, concordei que paguei a taxa de preparação dos medicamentos à base de plantas e recebi o produto fitoterápico poucas semanas após a preparação dos medicamentos fitoterápicos, tomo o fitoterápico de acordo com as instruções devo confessar que o Dr. Jekawo é um ótimo fitoterapeuta tradicional faço um teste rápido fiquei completamente curado por isso recomendo à minha mãe que sofre de demência e ao meu marido que sofre cancro da próstata também foi curado pelo Dr. Jekawo. Quero utilizar esta plataforma para lhe agradecer muito e também recomendá-lo a qualquer pessoa que sofra de herpes, cancro, mioma, aumento do pénis, disfunção eréctil, infecção da próstata, parkinson, gonorreia, hiv, clamídia, hpv, hepatite, feitiço de amor fazer com que o seu ex ou o seu amante o amem mais, e tantas doenças que o Dr. Jekawo pode curar com o seu conhecimento ancestral de ervas está para além da minha imaginação.
