User Guide

1.

Things to watch out for:

• Consumed substrate get replaced by feces, a dark color substance
  

• Replace substrate when 2/3 overall is consumed (typically about two months)
  

• It is common to see a small number of fungi on the substrate
  

• Replace substrate when under severe fungi invasion
  

• Do not put multiple larvae in the same substrate to prevent cannibalism
  

• Larvae need enough space to make proper pupa cells
  

• Lack of space leads to improper pupa cells and failure of emergence
  

• 32 oz option is usually enough for most larvae
  

• 64 oz option increases safety for a larger larva's pupation
