What Are Black Soldier Fly Larvae?

Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens) are a common sight across Australia. These small black flies are often mistaken for wasps, but don’t worry—they’re completely harmless.

The larvae are often found in compost piles, where they break down organic matter and speed up composting. They’re nature’s little recyclers!

Black Soldier Fly Larvae are a natural protein source for many animals, including:

• Chickens, ducks, and other poultry
• Wild birds
• Lizards, turtles, and reptiles
• Fish
• Frogs and amphibians
• Spiders
• Small omnivorous mammals
