Now the artificial breeding technology
of housefly on an industrial scale has been well studied. The whole
developmental period (from egg to adult) of housefly fed on swine
manure at 30 C is about 9 days, probably the shortest among the
saprophagous flies. As a promising insect in organic waste management,
the developmental period (from egg to adult) of black
soldier fly is about 33 days at 30 C, nearly 4 times that of housefly
