Names and Trademarks
A generic term for grubs of Hermetia illucens is black soldier fly larvae, abbreviated as "BSFL". Black soldier fly larvae were developed as a feeder insect for exotic pets by D. Craig Sheppard. Dr. Sheppard named the larvae Phoenix Worms and began marketing them as pet food. In 2006, Phoenix Worms became the first feeder insect to be granted a U.S. registered trademark. Other companies also market black soldier fly larvae and use their own brand names such as "Soldier Grubs," "Reptiworms" and "Calciworms."
