BioSystems Design Blog

To complement the article on Compiled Black Soldier Fly cultivation techniques, I’ve added the bibliography of Black Soldier Fly research articles in the hopes that you fine people will help me add articles I may have missed.  Where possible, I will be adding links to the free or purchasable articles.  If you fine individuals find online links of the pay or free variety, please post in the comments section so I can post them.
