Monitoring of black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) population in semi-captive controlled conditions

Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), or known as Black Soldier Fly (BSF), has lately been found in various regions of the world, including Malaysia. BSF has been linked to decomposing organic substances like animal manure or plant material. This species was discovered near poultry operatio...
