Phoenix Worms, Silly Question.

[Goldenarcher1328]

I'm working on trying to breed phoenix worms, and i'm going to ask a stupid question, Just to reassure my knowledge.. The worms turn from white to black before pupating, Correct?

Anyone know how long they take to mature into flys and start reproducing?

Once mine turned black it took about 1.5 months before I saw any flies but I just threw them in the soil of the plants in my chams cage

Awesome, thats totally how its feeling at the moment, they've been black forever...!

How long is the life cycle of the adult flies? Does it take forever for them to spawn?

The adults don't live long because they don't eat, but they need natural sunlight and a summer-length daytime to lay the eggs. Unless you have a special light of course.
