These guys rock! They are amazing composters and processors of food and bio waste. They live in what started as a worm composting bin (but the maggots ate them out of house and home).

By the way, these guys are Black Soldier Fly maggots (learn more here).  They are safe, disease-free, super-eaters (see this site – http://www.thebiopod.com/).  Oh, and our diapers (the wet ones, not the poopy ones) are compostable (made by Nature Babycare, we love them and we’ve never had a blowout or leak!).
