A system for keeping live insects or animals. The system has a shelf assembly having at least a bottom wall and a rear wall. The bottom wall has opposite interior and exterior bottom wall surfaces and an outer perimeter with a rear face; the rear wall being mounted to extend upwardly from the rear face of the bottom wall. The rear wall having opposite interior and exterior rear wall surfaces. An airflow plenum is along the interior rear wall surface. The plenum has an airflow opening arrangement. A powered fan is in airflow communication with the plenum.

A system and method for light treatment of pollinating insects including a hive structure including at least one hive compartment box including multiple frames spaced apart inside the at least one hive compartment box and at least one light device.

A mobile transport device for transporting insect larvae includes a housing having a selectively openable and closable opening and a receiving section within the housing for receiving at least one first insect fattening container. The first insect fattening container accommodates a first insect larvae cohort for fattening, a recirculation fan for partially recirculating air within the housing, an electronic control unit for controlling the recirculation fan, and a first air regulating device having a first ventilation section on a first side and a first exhaust section on a second side. Air enters the first insect fattening container through the first ventilation section and exits the first insect fattening container through the first exhaust section using the recirculation fan.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for long-term storage, shipping, and stable production of black soldier flies, capable of use in waste remediation or protein production. The invention overcomes drawbacks associated with current methods of using black soldier flies, significantly increasing the period during which black soldier fly neonates can be stored and the time in which larvae mature.
