Juvenile environments can influence adult phenotypes in holometabolous insects. This study examines the effects of larval rearing substrates on reproductive outcomes Black Soldier Flies (BSFs) at a semi-industrial scale. Larvae were reared five substrates. Larval growth, size, and performance monitored, with specific focus egg production hatching rates across 17 continuous collection days. Egg was positively correlated female body weight, while male weight appeared to peak. Extended feeding stages shorter non-feeding periods associated an earlier onset egg-laying, suggesting life-history traits as predictors for timing. Diets high carbohydrates but low protein fat influenced production, diets rich both negatively affected all measured parameters. Notably, higher fecundity did not necessarily correlate fertility (i.e., more viable larvae bioconversion), highlighting need optimize quantity hatchability maximize productivity. These findings provide valuable insights optimizing nutrition practices, enhancing efficiency overall productivity industrial BSF farming.
