Abstract: An apparatus and method of Black Soldier Fly breeding are provided. The method includes emitting a lure light to lure Black Soldier Flies into an interior space of a fly enclosure, emitting a mating light to induce Black Soldier Flies in the interior space to mate, and illuminating the interior space to a first illuminance above an ovipositing illuminance threshold and below a mating inducing illuminance threshold. The lure light has a first wavelength range that attracts recently hatched Black Soldier Flies into the fly enclosure through one or more lure ports formed in the fly enclosure. The mating light has a second wavelength range that induces Black Soldier Flies to mate. The method may also include illuminating the interior space to a second illuminance below the ovipositing illuminance threshold so that Black Soldier Flies in the interior space are encouraged to rest.
