The larval stage is the only one where the BSF will seek to feed itself. This will be its only objective, in order to make a sufficient fat reserve to be able to transform into a pupae, then into a fly and reproduce. During its life, the larva takes 5000 times its initial mass (As if a baby reached the weight of an elephant in 2 weeks!!!). At this stage, the larvae are white in color and will grow from a few millimetres to 2.5 cm in length.
