It's our turn to eat #BSF! @JoshGalt writes an awesome article on implementing black soldier fly larvae into an #entomophagy diet: detailing why these delicious larvae are often overlooked and why we should be eating them! @PurdueSciComm

If we're serious about insects as food being a sustainable solution, why aren't we talking more about black soldier fly larvae for human consumption? They're delicious! entovegan.com/bsfl-human-conโ€ฆ #BSFL #BSFLprotein #InsectNutrition #BlackSoldierFlyLarvae

Happy #Thanksgiving! Think about all of those extra food scraps after your big meal this week! Black soldier fly larvae could easily break down all of those organic materials in order to make a better #compost. @composting @PurdueSciComm

A cute & comical take on the real solution black soldier fly larvae could create to our world's ever-growing #foodwaste problem. If we implemented black soldier fly larvae in the process of food waste removal, much of it would never see a landfill. #Sustainability @PurdueSciComm

With #Halloween right around the corner, think about using your leftover #pumpkin guts in rearing your black solider fly larvae. They'll eat it right up! A new way to compost, and the BSF will improve the soil biology in your compost! ๐ŸŽƒ@CompostMatters @PurdueSciComm

If #SustainableAgriculture is something that matters to you, look no further than the black soldier fly #insectpower! @SymtonBSF harvests black soldier flies and sells them as food for exotic pets. Another step to revolutionizing how we feed the world! ๐ŸŒŽโค๏ธ@PurdueSciComm

The black soldier fly turns household waste into high quality protein at very low carbon costs - experts believe it to be a gamechanger for #sustainability in #livestock. We already tested it on farmed mink - they ate it like children eat ice cream ๐Ÿฆ  ๐Ÿ’ž๐ŸŒwashingtonpost.com/business/โ€ฆ

#entomophagy: people eating insects. You might be wondering: "Are black soldier flies edible?" BSF larvae are safe for humans to eat, and they're a great source protein! Did you know that 80% of our world eats insects? Do I sense a #tastetest @PurdueSciComm? @BugMeNutrition

Interested in #sustainablefarming @PurdueSciComm? @caspian_acres rears BSF larvae on their farm for animal feed. @CBCTheNational reports on this farm and Enterra Feed Corporation to see BSF used as animal feed on a larger scale. youtu.be/K-R37E1kiE4

After the #ClimateStrikes last Friday, you might be wondering ways to save the environment #greenplanet. Look no further than the "superman of insects" better known as the black soldier fly. @jesslyncapen gives brief insight on the maggots that could save us. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’š@PurdueSciComm

Voracious: eating great quantities of food #hungry. This is the perfect way to describe BSF larvae. Watch them devour this hamburger @PurdueSciComm! These larvae are powerful decomposers, and could be used for waste management #compost. @EawagResearch youtu.be/9BhuGy-fGYU

The black soldier fly is being used to manage organic waste and create biodiesel #mindblown! Now that's what I call #insectpower! This could help fight against climate change. @PurdueSciComm & @PurdueAg check out the link below to read about the process! sciencedirect.com/science/arโ€ฆ

So what is a black soldier fly?๐Ÿค”A common fly, typically found in tropical regions across the world. No need to worry @PurdueSciComm, although these sleek bodied bugs look like wasps, they don't bite or sting! Plus, they just might be the future of agriculture #biofuel! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐ŸฆŸ๐ŸŒŽ
