✅ Drosophila melanogaster (1/16”)

• Smaller in size and easier to culture
• Ideal for young frogs, mantids, and micro-predators
• Best suited for beginners due to their consistent production

Culture Options

🔹 Producing Cultures – These cultures are mature and will begin hatching flies within 3 days of arrival, perfect if you need feeder insects right away.

🔹 Fresh Cultures – These cultures are newly established and will take 2-3 weeks before they begin producing flies. Ideal for planning ahead and saving money. Note: Avoid feeding from fresh cultures too early, as this will reduce production.

• Melanogaster: Wait 10-12 days before use.

For optimal production, keep cultures at 75-78°F with 60-80% humidity.
