Will soldier fly larvae survive a 2-3 day transit?

Berrse · Aug 20, 2016

I was looking at ordering soldier fly worms from Flukers because they're really cheap right now, but I'm worried about them surviving the shipping time. Will priority mail be ok or should I cough up the $18 for overnight shipping? My area usually has temps in the 75-80 degree range lately. Thoughts?

I have ordered from venders all over the country and have never really had any issues. some have taken about 5 days to arrive but i still did not notice many dead ones.
It's completely up to you, I personally would not spend a large extra amount to have them come a day or two quicker. Just make sure they aren't left outside all day and that they are either held at the post office, or someone is home to bring them inside when they arrive and you should be good.

Cool, thank you! I'll have them held at the post office.
