While traveling, I had the excellent opportunity to visit Stefan Diener, a Swiss reasearcher and entomologist doing research on Black Soldier Fly as an “ecological engineer” for waste management. EAWAG has an excellent site about Stefan’s work here. Also exciting, Stefan showed me a time lapse video he took the time to make of the BSF eating two fish (one cooked and one uncooked) and has been kind enough to share it. Here it is below: seeing is believing!
