Talking about spiders will always be my favorite subject. But I do venture out to other topics. Two evenings ago, I presented "Texas Flies, Oh My" to members of the Bexar Audubon Society of South Central Texas in San Antonio. In July 2024, they invited me to give my spider presentation, which I did. Once again, Patsy Inglet this week gave me a nice introduction.
Afterward, members John Huston and his wife chatted with me briefly about their black solider fly larvae, which have taken over their compost bin. During my presentation, I'd briefly mentioned how these larvae are used commercially to recycle waste, make animal feed and even control house flies. At first, I thought they'd purchased larvae to get started. But no, the black soldier flies just showed up and deposited eggs. I asked John if he could send me a photo and video, which he kindly did. With his permission, I'm sharing here.
