Fruit Fly Starter Kit | Drosophila Starter Kit

Everything you need to start a self sustaining Drosophila culture from day one. No prior experience required.

Kit contents:

• 500g Fruit Fly Medium (ready to prepare)
• 1000ml wood wool
• 5 rearing containers
• 1 starter culture with young larvae

Who is it for?

This kit is for keepers of reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and other invertebrates who want a steady, renewable supply of live feeder insects. It's also a great starting point for anyone taking their first steps into insect culture. The medium is a balanced formulation that supports fast larval development and strong yields, so your culture starts producing flies within days instead of starting from scratch.

The wood wool gives Drosophila the dry vertical surface they need for pupation. It keeps the pupae off the medium, which reduces contamination and improves emergence rates. It also adds more surface area inside the container, giving females extra places to lay their eggs. More laying space means more eggs and higher yields per culture. The included starter culture already contains actively feeding larvae, so your first generation is underway the moment the kit arrives. There's no waiting around for eggs to establish. One kit is enough to split into several containers and build a rotating culture cycle for continuous production.
