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!!!!

I have ordered fruit flies from many different places and they just aren't as good as Joshes.
