Our Black Soldier Fly Pupae (BSFP) are the ultimate resource for jump-starting your own Black Soldier Fly Colony or providing a highly nutritious, all-natural food source for your pets. As part of our commitment to eco-conscious branding, these pupae are an integral part of the circular economy, representing the transformation into the adult stage.
Why Choose Blue Grub Farms Pupae?
Premium Quality & High Viability: These pupae are meticulously raised in our Aurora, Colorado facility and carefully selected to ensure a high rate of successful emergence into adult Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens).
The Adult Colony Starter: Black Soldier Fly Pupae are the perfect, effortless way to establish a productive, self-sustaining breeding colony, giving you continuous access to BSFL for feed or frass production. They require minimal immediate care—just place them in your designated emergence area at the proper temperature and humidity (75-95°F and 60-70% humidity is recommended for the general BSFL life cycle).
Exceptional Nutrition: Packed with the same incredible nutritional density as our larvae, BSFP are a protein powerhouse (larvae are 40-50% protein by dry weight), offering a balanced profile of essential amino acids, beneficial fats (like lauric acid), and critical minerals to promote health, growth, and immune function in various livestock, poultry, fish, and reptiles.
A Sustainable Solution: By focusing on Black Soldier Fly Larvae and their uses, Blue Grub Farms is contributing to the $1.3 billion insect-protein sector with a focus on hyperlocal sourcing and a dramatically reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional protein sources.
Ideal For:
Hobbyists or commercial operations looking to establish a new breeding colony.

When we started farming Black Soldier Flies, we found that egg collection can be a bit annoying, there was not an efficient way of collecting eggs out there. So we developed a system to easily collect eggs that is efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
Maximize Your Production. Simplify Your Harvest. Introducing The Coop.
Designed for serious breeders, commercial operations, or anyone looking to scale their Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) production, The Coop is a professional-grade egg collection system that delivers superior yield and unmatched ease of use. Stop guessing where your adult flies are laying and start efficiently harvesting eggs for a continuous, robust colony.
Engineered for Optimal Oviposition:
Egg Cartridges The core of The Coop features eight modular cartridges, four 1mm and four 2mm, giving the flies different options for comfortable egg laying.
Minimal Disruption, Maximum Collection: This system is specifically designed to allow you to collect and harvest thousands of eggs with minimal disturbance to the adult fly environment. Simply remove a cartridge, and replace with a fresh cartridge or gently collect the eggs with a pen knife, and re-suspend it. Eggs typically hatch in 3-4 days.
Durable & Sustainable Construction:
Frame: The robust, yet lightweight, frame is crafted from Birch Dowels and held together with precise PETG connectors, providing stable suspension for the cartridges. Frams is designed to be placed above or inside attractant container.
Cartridges: Made entirely of durable PETG, these cartridges are built to withstand the humid conditions of an active BSFL breeding environment for years of reliable use.
The Coop provides the foundational component for reliable, large-scale BSFL production, ensuring you have a steady supply of new larvae to support your feed or waste management goals.

Ready to start your own sustainable BSFL operation but want to build it your way?
The Blue Grub Farms Bin Kit provides the critical components you need to transform any standard plastic container (tote, bucket, etc.) into a highly efficient, self-harvesting Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) breeding and composting system. Skip the expensive, bulky pre-built bins and design a system that fits your space, your materials, and your budget!
What's Included in Your DIY Kit:
Prepupae Harvest Ramp: This specially designed ramp allows mature larvae (prepupae) to instinctively crawl out of the food source and up to a collection insert. It's the key to automatic, clean harvesting—no more sifting or digging!
Collection Insert: This simple insert sits outside your main bin, ready to receive the self-harvested prepupae from the ramp. Just lift and collect!
Adult Fly Entrance Pod: Designed to attract and guide newly emerged adult Black Soldier Flies into the breeding area, helping to keep your colony contained and focused on reproduction.
The "Egg Tree" Laying Surfaces: Modeled after nature, these surfaces—complete with decorative "leaves"—mimic the ideal narrow, protected spaces where female BSFL prefer to lay their eggs. This maximizes egg production, ensuring the constant, sustainable growth of your colony.
Why Choose the Bin Kit?
Customize Your Colony: Use the container size and material that works best for your setup.
Maximize Egg Laying: The proprietary Egg Tree design is proven to boost your colony's reproductive success.
Automate Harvesting: Enjoy the ease of the Prepupae Ramp, allowing your colony to practically harvest itself.
Sustainable & Educational: Take pride in building your own system and engaging directly with the incredible process of BSFL composting and protein production.
