Freshly Started Wingless Drosophila Melanogaster Fruit Fly Culture

The delivery date kept changing but I was okay with that. However when culture arrived there were no flies in it. I did find some larva so hopeful that I will see some flies soon. Will update my review on what happens.8/28/23 Update: Do not throw your culture away if you do not see flies! As started above mine did not have live flies but was full of Larva. I placed it in the container i use for incubating my cultures for a few days and there was an explosion of flies! There were tons of flies and I am still having eggs laid, larva hatching and flies hatching. Very impressed now with it and will buy from seller again!

First order was great. Second order had very little media. Last order arrived after 3 weeks unalive. There was no sticker indicating the package needed to remain this side up. There was zero filler to keep it upright. They did sent a replacement but it was the wrong product. I received a refund a month later.

This is my first time buying live insects online. I am extremely happy with this culture. I followed instructions and waited a couple days for breeding, ect. The population exploded, they were all so mobile. And, so many more than I expected. Plus, no smell. I checked every time I opened it. Even after a couple weeks , no smell and they are still breeding. I am satisfied and will purchase again from this seller.

There all dead been on order Sense May 5 just got here on the 16th

He definitely seems to love them, they're just not very big in comparison to him. I think he's a giant house spider, found him in the bathroom and thought he was cute. But he does eat them nevertheless, so i'd say this is worth your money. At least if you're keeping a typical Washingtonian giant house spider as a pet.

I’ve purchased these flies many times for my praying mantis. They’re super easy to feed, they’re easy to take care of, and they last quite a while. I’m more than pleased with these flightless fruit flies! They make the feeding experience quick and easy.

Flies were alive. Not very much excelsior. Josh’s frogs are way better for similar price and faster shipping.

Well, this was a good product experience. Arrived with a few live flies, within days there was plenty of larvae, now I have tons of fruit flies to feed my freshly hatched mantids. I am about to move to a large size fly now. This culture smells a little more funky than others I've used in the past, but my critters don't seem to mind so I guess I don't either. I did have an issue with delivery, but I think that was more a UPS problem rather than the merchant.
