Hey guys last week Mama Fuj took me down to middle school where I met Mr. Omo and got our worms. I learned so much stuff about using worms for composting and all about the different types of micro organisms needed to get the job done. This is a blog post of one of the many cool things I learned.
This insect is totally awesome because it works hand in hand with the worms. Its called a black soldier fly also known as BSF. This fly lays its eggs in the compost and its larva act and look like maggots that help to eat the food turning it into rich soil. Seeing this fly around your composting bin is a good sign because that means that there will be baby BFS in your compost helping to decompose the waste. At first to me i was kind skeptic about these insects because they look like they could sting and I didnʻt know what they did. Now I know that they are wonderful and im glad to see BSF larva in our compost. Here is a picture of one in our compost. I named it Jane. I hope it is a girl...
hahahaha OMG nice pic leilani XD
