Black soldier flies are common and widespread fly of the family Stratiomyidae. Neither the larvae nor adults are considered pests or vectors. Instead, black soldier fly larvae play a similar role to that of redworms as essential decomposers in breaking down organic substrates and returning nutrients to the soil/environment. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RM/RH/VERTICAL/1350-682.jpg1350-682https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/1350-682/black-soldier-flies-common-widespread-fly-family-stratiomyidae/

As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RM/RH/HORIZONTAL/1350-670.jpg1350-670https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/1350-670/common-suggests-hovering-nectaring-flowers-adults-species-feed/

A common and widespread fly of the family Stratiomyidae, and quite possibly the best-known species in the entire infraorder. The larvae are used in manure management, for both house fly control and reduction in manure volume, and the mature larvae and prepupae raised in manure management operations are themselves useful as feed supplements https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RM/RH/VERTICAL/1350-642.jpg1350-642https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/1350-642/common-widespread-fly-family-stratiomyidae-possibly-bestknown-species/
