I learned so much more about these interesting insects while I was there, and really enjoyed meeting with the entomologists and touring their labs. They also showed a few time-lapse videos of the BSFL eating fish, a hamburger and other foods that were absolutely mesmerizing.

Fascinating. Thanks. I've heard great things about using these as a chicken feed source. I hadn't considered trying to establish them in the compost pile. That would have the added benefit of attracting the chickens to the pile.
