The tools and conditions under which the metamorphosis occurs are decisive for effective black soldier fly reproduction. Of all the development cycles of the species, the pupae state is one of the most vulnerable. So it is crucial to use tools that can create critical environmental factors such as prolonged warmth, darkness, and a calm environment isolated from wind and moisture. When designing and developing the Grinsect Darkcage, in addition to the needs of the soldier fly pupae, compatibility with other tools, particularly with the Lovecage, has also been considered to maximize the breeding efficiency.

Why do you need Darkcage?

Because you want an optimized, stress-free, and controlled breeding process. If kept under unfavorable conditions, individuals ready for pupation by age may have a prolonged period of the pre-pupae phase. In this case, they are forced to devote part of their energy accumulated during fattening to finding the ideal place and conditions for transformation. This occurrence will set back your production.

Features

Practical

You put the pupae in on one side and let the flies out on the other: the sluice system prevents freshly hatched flies from emerging at the wrong time.

Mobile

The wheels fixed to the bottom of the cage allow you to move the pupae quickly and safely, and they can be easily rolled in front of the Lovecage waiting to be filled.

Suitable for controlling the stock

To ensure efficient production is recommended to put roughly same-aged prepupae/pupae in the crates (age difference should not be more significant than 8-10 days)

Developed to meet the needs of the BSF

With Grinsect Darkcage, you can be sure to protect your stock from light, moisture, and wind.
