It is a species of fly that is native to North America but is found in various parts of the world. The black soldier fly is of interest to researchers, farmers, and environmentalists for several reasons:

Black soldier fly larvae excel at decomposing organic waste, swiftly transforming it into protein-rich biomass. This process reduces food waste, aids in waste management, and curbs greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, they play a pivotal role in bioconversion, turning waste into valuable products such as biodiesel and biofertilizer. Their use promotes sustainability, lessens the need for landfill space, and mitigates the environmental impact of organic waste disposal. Notably, these flies are easy to rear and have gained popularity in sustainable agriculture and waste management.
