Fly Pupae

Live Fly Pupae (Mustica domestica) are ideal for feeding to frogs, lizards, arachnids, scorpions, turtles, birds, poultry and fish. Fly Pupae and hatched flies are nutritious and high in protein.

Fly Pupae are a valuable addition to the diet of many native animals including platypus and echidnas. Flies are also used for pollinating food crops. Deactivated Fly Pupae are nutritious and can be kept for months in the freezer. Our feeder insects are grown on our family farm in Australia and shipped to your door fast.
