Good one fellas.

Zimbo I dont think anyone is growing them here. I may be wrong. Now there's a good business for you. They are actually very easy to grow from all accounts. They have really bad connotations for most of us in NZ because most of us have seen them on dead animals and rotten and putrefying food or flesh. It dosnt necessarily have to be so. Its not the maggots that are so disgusting as the putrifying flesh etc. Believe overseas they grow them on a liquid diet of meat juices and other stuff and they only take 3 or 4 days to grow to the proper size in the right conditions. They are then washed and put into containers, sometimes dyed, the facilities are cleaned, and the cycle starts over again.

Crickets are good fish bait too. Likewise Huhu bugs but you cant use them on trout they are illegal I believe
