Allan

Great!

Reviewed on February 12, 2026.

Important part is flies arrived alive in the colder weather! Unfortunate part is their cup arrived split down one side. I'm going to say the weather is to blame. Overall I'm quite happy, and hopefully I can keep this fly culture going for some time.

Fantastic

I was expecting to have to wait a day or two for these to start hatching, but it came with many already out and running about! Everyone seemed good and not remotely cold (shipped all the way to northern VT) of which I was very impressed! Definitely will be ordering again.

Wow and Amazing!

Reviewed on November 7, 2025.

I am very happy with my order which had many flies and larva and were very active. Very surprising since the postal driver stuck it in my mailbox when it was 30 degrees out and I did not realize until hours later. So many flies!!!!
