BSF Pupae (also known as Cocoon, BSFP, BSF Pupa, Black Soldier Fly Pupae) are the final stages of development of BSF larvae before they become adults (from 23–37 days old). At this stage, the BSF larvae replace their mouth with a hook-like structure. Their bodies also turn from dark brown to charcoal gray. At the same time, they will look for shady and safe places to initiate the pupal (cocoon) phase.
