Usage (Breeding Tips)

1️⃣ Drosophila breeding: Take a small handful of Excelsior, fluff the fibers by hand, and insert them into your culture cups. This serves as a laying support for adults and prevents flies from drowning in the nutrient formula.

2️⃣ Insect transport: Place a thin amount of fibers in your transport boxes (crickets, cockroaches, isopods) to provide stable anchoring points, thus reducing their stress during transport.

3️⃣ Maintenance: Single-use material for drosophila cultures; discard everything once the culture cycle is complete.

Tips & Parameters

🪰 The drosophila ally — The best medium to maximize the production of your fruit fly cultures (Drosophila melanogaster and D. hydei).

🦗 Perfect for feeder insects — Offers an excellent three-dimensional structure for crickets, cockroaches, and other invertebrates awaiting distribution.
