Sprung to life as expected

Reviewed on August 4, 2025.

Upon receiving the culture, I couldn't see any living flies (had a shipping delay in the summer) but the next day, a ton of larvae came up out of the media. Worked out perfectly, and is a highly productive culture.

Great product and excellent price. My original culture lasted well over a month and produced thousands of flies. The local pet store pays more than 3.99 per culture.
