What Can Eat Curly Wing Flies?

These little flies are perfect for hatchling amphibians and spiders, small invertebrates like mantis and jumping spiders, and great for small amphibians such as dart frogs. You can even feed them to small fish. Their curly wings makes it harder for them to fly, so they are easier for your pet to catch and consume.

Curly Wing Fly Care

Most of the flies will be casters when shipped. This is the pupae form of the insect, so after they have hatched and grown on as maggots, but before they hatch into adult flies. Keep them at room temperature in an area away from direct sunlight and let them hatch. This happens after about 5 - 7 days. 

Curly-wing flies aren't fruit flies, but once hatched they can be fed a diet of small amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables alongside insect food to keep them in tip top condition.

Packaging Information

Your curly-wing flies are shipped in a small, ventilated plastic container with some internal packaging for cover. You can keep the flies in this container when they arrive and simply shake out the desired amount into your pet's enclosure at feeding time.
