Hiya Don, bsf are becoming more numerous as it warms up. If you have a compost bin I'm fairly confident you will see some bsfl in there.

Like Skeggley said they should be prevalent in the SW of WA. The first year I tried to breed them I bought some from this site.

The next year I had dormant/hibernating lava & this year Ill just hang a fish frame over a bucket with core flue egg receivers around the edge & wait for them to turn up. If all I get is blow fly maggots them Ill just feed them to the fish. But as soon as they deposit eggs in the core flue your away.

Hi dbird
Have you had any luck with the BSFL. I looked trough the research I did before & found this :
Quote:
The adult flies are photophilic and require strong daylight spectra as well as temperatures between 25°C and 35°C to encourage mating to occur.

So far I have only seen the common Blowfly but it is still a little cool around here in Geraldton.
