In last one decade, numerous researches have been performed on the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae to establish the optimal breeding condition in contradiction of the computational temperature, wide sort of substrates and sub optimized feeding ratio. Even though the considerable number of methods has been already established and supervised, there have been a technical lagging always been predominantly in the form of egg hatching rate, moisture tolerance, drainage and rearing requirements to categorize the obtainable alternatives. In order to inculcate the reimbursements of the existing technology and fulfil the knowledge gaps pertaining, in this paper, we propose a monitoring based real time hatching system which comprises the technicality and precious management skills. This review emphases a comprehensive nutrition technique for BSF larvae by means of different fodder acclaim abilities in association with the adaptability of sewage water and accentuate the change in the behavioral characteristics of the adult as well as on larvae stage, which can open a new economic window in sustainable waste management technique and will be capable of addressing multi-dimensional solution in the form of green and novel alternative.

Cancer has a major impact on society having the highest morbidity and mortality rate. Approximately 70% of deaths are predominantly caused due to cancer and it prevails in low and middle-income countries, as they are unaware of the signs and symptoms, treatment methods, non-availability of cancer drugs and the incurrence of huge economic burden on the family. As per the literature, the chemotherapeutic drug has numerous side effects and occasionally it may lead to death. Based on these inferences, there is a requirement to identify therapeutic peptides that are more effective for cancer treatment with less toxic effects on the body. Peptides have a great advantage to fight against the disease efficiently. Several flies have anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties that help to control disease and inhibit cancer progression. In the present research, we have utilized Hermetia illucens has great anticancer peptides that can control cancer growth. In the current research, we utilized crude protein extraction from Hermetia illucens larvae, to discover the inhibitory activity against MCF7 and HeLa cell lines. by adopting the MTT assay method, along with reference drug Camptothecin. Bradford assay results helped to identify that 23.5µg/ml concentration of protein is present in the crude sample. Flow cytometry was used to calculate the % of cell violations and IC50 values were observed in HeLa (19.88±50.3μg/mL) and MCF7 (224.68±50.3μg/mL) cells. Cell cycle inhibition was observed in HeLa cells of G1 (57.3±1.2) and, S (19.8±1.3) phase of dose-dependent with the significance of (P<0.05). Hermetia illucens crude protein has significant inhibition with HeLa cells that have the best anticancer proteins in human cervical carcinoma cells.

“…The species is polyphagous and its gut extracts have high amylase, lipase and protease activities (Kim et al, 2011). Thus, it is employed in sustainable recycling of animal waste (Sheppard et al, 1994;, faeces Lalander et al, 2013), and other type of organic waste (Rachmawati et al, 2010;Diener et al, 2011;Kalová & Borkovcová, 2013;, turning bio-waste into a high quality nutrient source for animal feed (Veldkamp et al, 2012). As a result, BSF has been used as feed for a variety of animals, including swine, poultry, and fish, and is being explored as an important ingredient for pet food.…”

Black Soldier Fly-BSF; Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) has been proposed as one of the most suitable insect species to be used as animal feed. Advantages of using BSF that have been identified are their capacity to convert organic waste, to reduce the numbers of certain harmful bacteria and insect pests, to provide potential chemical precursors to produce biodiesel, and to provide high quality protein to be used as feed for a variety of animals. This thesis explores nutritional physiology of BSF and its effect on larval biomass production and fitness. Knowing the physiological mechanisms that BSF employs to deal with different nutrient concentrations, and their impacts on BSF life-history traits and larval body content, may yield valuable insights into the nutritional ecology of BSF. Experiments involving the study of larval densities, total nutrient content, and dietary protein (P) and carbohydrate (C) content and ratio on artificial, semi-artificial and organic residual stream diets were used to unravel their effect on life-history traits, body nutrient content and reproduction of BSF. Results presented in this thesis show that larval density and nutrient content interact at low nutrient content to affect BSF larval performance and body composition, nutrient content overall having a stronger effect. Regarding dietary protein and carbohydrate, I conclude that BSF has post-ingestive mechanisms to deal with imbalanced foods. Carbohydrate-biased P:C ratios positively affect BSF performance, both on the artificial diets and the organic residue stream, P-content being limiting for most of the performance variables. In the experiments throughout this study larval protein content was high and largely independent of dietary protein content, although small differences were found between treatments. However, larval crude fat varied over a wider range depending on dietary macronutrient content, protein content affecting larval crude fat content to a large extent. The data presented in this thesis contribute to our understanding of how nutrition, mainly in terms of protein and carbohydrate content and ratio, affects life-history traits, nutrient body content and reproduction of BSF and how this knowledge can be applied to improve the productive performance and larval body composition in BSF production systems.
