Students at the Gibbs Permaculture Research and Demonstration Site have been researching the potential of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as a biological means to manage pre and post consumer food ...

That’s just a fundamental prerequisite,” said Michael Winding, a systems neuroscientist at the Francis Crick Institute who helped create a connectome of a fly larva, but was not involved with ...

Scorpion flies live in green spaces such as parks and eat dead insects ... Not wanting to be seen by the world, the larva of the bagworm moth builds a structure around itself. It binds this structure ...

Compared with human bot fly larvae, for instance, NWS larvae are much smaller, with a tapered head and no black spines, though it can still be difficult to identify them. People at increased risk ...

Previous efforts have completed the whole brain diagrams for much smaller brains, for example, for that of a fruit fly larva, which has 3,016 neurons, and a nematode worm, which has 302 neurons.

A new species of wasp has been discovered that lays its eggs inside adult fruit flies. The wasp larva grows inside the fly and then rips the fly open when it emerges, a recent study described.

When it wants to fly, the beetle opens up the wing case and exposes the front wings. Beetles are also defined by their ...

When Hauser examined petroleum fly maggots under a microscope, he noticed they’re a little more prickly than other fly larvae. He believes their rough skin keeps the asphalt away from their bodies.

While drain fly larvae may not be visible inside the drain, adult drain flies may be seen congregating on the surrounding sink or walls. To get rid of drain flies for good, it’s often necessary ...

At an insect farm in Kenya, fly larvae are being used to combat food waste. It's part of the InsectiPro farm's mission to chip away at the 1,900 tons of organic waste produced in Nairobi every day.
