Is a natural food and made with liofilisation (or what this is called in english, Lyophilisate ?) process. It does not contain conservants.

Red is maybe a little lie, or maybe the larvae changed the colors in light brown in the mean time lol. A red larvae species exists or is a generic name ? I don't know, but maybe someone will or know already. Btw, liofilisation is a procces of dry food at below freezing point, or maybe i'm mistaken ? It seems that even that "Red larvae" is written on the label, the product contains mosquito larvae and of course they are many companies that make fish food. Is smells like dog/cat food, wich smells rather good (no, i don't eat this sort of stuff) and no adverting intended for the product. So, anyone is using mosquito larvae for vft, nephentes, etc ?. And is a little risk or not ?

I have never used this one VFTs but I have had great success with feeding hydrated balls of it to Nepenthes, Drosera, and Sarracenia. (Mainly Purpurea.) I'm sure it could work with other plants too, but feeding a VFT would be kinda tedious.

Ok, so you used red larvae, or other products ?

hmm, some time i kill mosquito larva from water and give that to my sundew..
hehe..

Freeze-dried blood worms are the ones you have showing in the picture. They can be used for anything and works like a miracle for Dews! just hydrate and feed...but make sure not to feed too much in one go as the trap can rot.

The problem is that if i want to remove them after a few days, they will get stuck (if they are not smaller bits) to the leaves. I better buy a mortar and pestle to grind them even better.
