It might be repulsive for some, but these black soldier fly maggots are helping take a bite out of China’s kitchen waste. In the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai, the grubs have been tasked with gobbling up organic garbage from six villages and three communities. With their voracious appetite, the larvae can devour waste that’s 10,000 times heavier than their own weight in just seven days. But beyond waste management, there are many uses for the fattened larvae.
