Josh's Frogs Black Soldier Fly Larvae (1000 Count - Large)

I’ve ordered from Josh’s Frogs on Amazon twice now, for black soldier fly larvae to get my compost bin going. The first time I ordered one container of 1000 large, and the second time I ordered 2 containers. The first time they arrived quickly and alive and well, and they did great getting my compost going. The second time I ordered more recently was because I thought I had accidentally killed them all in the Texas heat by not giving them supplemental water, because one day I looked in the bin and didn’t see any parent flies or larvae when digging around. Once I ordered more, and got advice that let me know my mistake, I then did see more parent flies, so they were not *all* dead, luckily. They can tolerate pretty dang high heat, but they do need moisture and I had let my compost dry out too much. I won’t make that mistake again! The second batch was delayed in shipping, which is not JF’s fault at all, and despite the stickers on the box saying to store upright, were left in my mailbox parcel container on their side - but they were still alive, I couldn’t find a single larvae that was dead. And they were all a great size, many were even the dark color that indicates they’re almost ready to pupate, and about an inch long, which is the biggest they get. I’m very happy with the service as well- they replied to my question about how long they can survive in transit very quickly, and assured me if they didn’t arrive in good condition that I’d get a refund or replacement. Couldn’t be happier! And I highly recommend these fellas for composting - they will eat anything and everything (unlike sensitive and picky earthworms), and will turn your food scraps into amazing compost in a few short months. They are sustainable and good for the environment, and a GREAT food for chickens if you have them - and they will also compost chicken poo, making it into amazing fertilizer. An absolute must-have for any home gardener, no matter the size of your garden.

Josh's Frogs feeder bugs are always the best. I have tried many different company's, and Josh's are consistently the best size, and they arrive in the best shape. I've also found that these tend to last longer than larvae from other companies. The large really are large. Shipping is almost always quicker than expected. Definitely my go to brand for all my feeder needs.

I ordered black soldier fly larva and I'm so happy with my purchase. The the larvae were all alive and my bearded dragon, Speckles, loves them! Also they were packaged very nicely. Do not hesitate to buy from this seller! Great customer service and great product!

2nd time I have purchased from this vendor on Amazon. Very happy and healthy BSF live larvae that come in perforated plastic container packed with just enough wiggle room for the BSF larvae but not so much room it's dangerous to them. They seem pretty active and hungry upon arrival as they should be and seem to be very well cared for in a size appropriate cardboard box with live insects inside label on the box. This time it even included a little seemingly hand written thank you for your business note from Eric (not sure if it's just a font or was truly handwritten individually)... Either way it was a very nice touch and as usual it contained the basic care instructions for BSF larvae too.

These are the smallest Bfsl I have ever seen. They arrived within estimated time frame and I still have some alive and it’s been months so that’s something, but it takes my beardy forever to eat them cause she just stares into the bowl and looks back at me she doesn’t this for about an hour then she will see one move enough and jump on but man it takes her forever and I think it’s cause she can’t really see them lolol. Idk I would of loved to reorder but I bought large and definitely didn’t get them. So I won’t be ordering again. It’s frustrating especially when I paid for larger, maybe don’t charge by the size then if your not gonna give people what they pay for.. huh?!? Maybe a partial refund. Lol idc just once I’d like a company to just do what they say they will, just once 😣🙄

This was my first time ordering feeder insects online. I was very nervous, because I have heard many horror stories. My experience with Josh's Frogs was amazing. I got my BSFL fast and alive. I am very pleased with my purchase and will continue to order from Josh's Frogs.

The larvae were fine, but there were far less than the 1000 I ordered. Maybe some died in shipment, because it was several days at the USPS office due to closure for the Memorial Day 3-day weekend and was delayed in shipment before I could retrieve the package, but I didn't see any carcasses. Disappointing.

It always is delivered very fast within at least 3 days to a weeks worth of time, it’s a decent price for 1,000 of one of the best insect feeders out there. I’ve never had dead or low quality bugs arrive, great service every time.
