BLACK SOLDIER FLY
Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus, 1758) is commonly known as “soldier fly” (Black Soldier Fly) and belongs to the Stratiomyidae family. This species is possibly native to America (Kovac & Rozkosny, 1995) but because of anthropic activity it has spread throughout the humid and subtropical tropical regions of the planet (James, 1935). In Europe this species was registered for the first time in Malta in 1926, and since then it has been cited in other countries of the Mediterranean area, such as Albania, Croatia, France, Italy, southern Switzerland, Portugal and Spain (Martínez-Sanchéz et al. ., 2011). In the Iberian Peninsula, H. illucens was registered for the first time in 1954 in Spain, and in Portugal in 1995 (Martínez-Sánchez et al., 2011).
The larvae of this species have an essentially elongated shape (0.85 to 30 mm) with a tapered anterior end and a rounded posterior shape. The tegument is whitish to darker, and strongly sclerotized according to age (Müller, 1925). Larvae can develop in a wide variety of organic matter, from manure and decaying meat, to fruits and vegetables. They cross six larval stages, and in their last phase, they sclerotize and adopt a dark color, until forming a black and motionless pupa.

FOR THE FUTURE
The increase in world population leads to the urgent need for additional supplies of protein from sustainable sources for inclusion in animal feed.
entomo agroindustrialEurope imports 70% of its protein needs, it is known as "protein deficit”
entomo agroindustrialThe European Union generates 88 million tons of biodegradable organic waste and up to 1.4 million tons of manure each year.
entomo AgroIndustrialInsects are a source of valuable nutrients for animal feed, with high content of fat, protein, vitamins, fiber and with a very significant concentration of minerals.
entomo agroindustrialFly larvae can reduce the mass of organic waste up to 60% in 10 days.
entomo AgroIndustrialWe enable the transformation of by-products and waste from the agro industry using insects.
