Fruit Fly Starter Culture (Flightless – Drosophila Hydei) + FREE Fruit Fly Culture Kit

Hydei measure about 1/8″, and are quite a bit larger and ‘meatier’ than D. melanogaster – perfectly suited for dart frogs that prefer larger prey items, or other pets including tropical fish and small birds with similar needs. This strain will not revert back to fliers at a higher temperature, unlike ‘flightless’ melanogaster. Each culture should produce 300+ fruit flies each time you re-culture it. LIVE Arrival Guarantee: Temperatures do not drop below 32 degrees or above 85 degrees during transit and product is delivered priority post with guaranteed delivery date.
