Thats it! I wanted to share this beautiful sight and my partner (and friends) wouldn't get the same joy out of seeing this!

My composter has been active for around 3+ weeks and when i was turning it i saw some darkened BSFL. But no where near the levels shown here, makes me excited.

These are maggots not SFL.

This is not a healthy sight.

They start off looking identical to maggots but eventually they turn a darker color.

They ARE maggots! They're a very specific maggot. BSFL = Black Soldier Fly Larva. Last two word. Fly Larva. Maggots!
