InsectoBox — the three elements
Biological cycle and reproduction
Hermetia illucens develops through eggs, larvae, prepupae, pupae and adults. Reproduction takes place in the aviary; the nursery holds young larvae before bioconversion.
Temperature and permitted substrates
Monitor temperature and humidity according to life stage and prepare a suitable substrate, neither dry nor saturated. Check permitted materials for your territory and intended larvae use: not all biowaste is suitable for animal feed.
Harvesting and maintenance
Separate larvae from residues, monitor liquids, clean trays and record inputs and outputs. Frass recovery and larvae use require regulatory checks.
PDF guide
The downloadable guide is in French. Dimensions and instructions must be checked against the prototype version: the current drawing specifies a 1 m³ Box.
