Our black soldier fly composting system is slowing down due to colder Fall nights.

Austrian designer Katharina Unger has invented a new, reliable product to farm the larvae inside for human consumption.

It's called Farm 432 and promises to produce enough protein for a 2 person meal every 2 weeks or 432 hours.

The product is still in a Beta stage but seems to be well thought out and almost ready for prime time.

Frying the larvae produces a crunchy texture that might mix well with a rice or pasta dish.

We have not tried fried larvae yet but the more I read about it the less resistance I have to eating bugs.
