| description | 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 operations in Tasek Gelugor, Penang, Malaysia, and was then placed
into semi-captive adult cages (2 m width × 4 m length × 2.5 m height) for colony
establishment. For a period of 10 months, the population of this species was observed. The
population of BSF increased but subsequently fluctuated over the months. Temperature and
relative humidity were measured as well as the weight of BSF eggs. The association between
climatic conditions and the weight of eggs was investigated using Spearman's correlation
coefficient analysis. Kruskal Wallis test, |
