As for the females, at most 8 days after laying eggs, they die. From egg laying to laying again, the maximum total is 45 days (depending on various conditions). A relatively short cycle, but a very high reproductive system. Each egg laying process, 1 female produces 1 egg cluster. 1 cluster contains 500 – 900 larvae. The life span from egg hatching to “BABY LARVA” is 9 days, and on the 17th day (7 days), the baby larvae will reach a weight of 5000 – 6000 times the original weight, or become adult larvae with an average weight of 0.16 grams each, which we then recognize as BSF MAGGOTS.
