| Abstract | Black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.) is widely used in bio-recycling of human food waste and manure of livestock. Eggs of BSF were commonly collected by egg-trapping technique for mass rearing. To find an efficient lure for BSF egg-trapping, this study compared the number of egg batch trapped by different lures, including fruit, food waste, chicken manure, pig manure, and dairy manure. The result showed that fruit wastes are the most efficient on trapping BSF eggs. To test the effects of fruit species, number of egg batch trapped by three different fruit species, papaya, banana, and pineapple were compared, and no difference were found among fruit species. Environmental factors including temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity were measured and compared in different study sites to examine their effects on egg-trapping. The results showed no differences on temperature, relative humidity, and overall light intensity between sites, but the stability of light environment differed between sites. BSF tend to lay more eggs in site with stable light environment. |
