Product Description
Spike Care & Info (Blue Bottle Fly Larvae/ Pupae)
Storage:
Spikes must be refrigerated at 33–39°F for optimal freshness — the crisper drawer in your fridge is the ideal spot. When stored properly, they can last up to 4 weeks.
Pupation Notice:
Spikes are intended to pupate into Blue Bottle Flies. They may begin this process during transit and arrive as chrysalises (pupae). Adult flies measure about 10–11mm.
⚠️ Important Use Tips:
-
Only use dry, cream-colored spikes.
-
If spikes become brown or moist, discard them.
-
Healthy chrysalises can be kept until flies emerge.

Spikes are soft-bodied, highly digestible, and packed with nutrition. They’re similar in size to small waxworms (about 3/8" to 1/2" long).
Natural & Appealing:
In the wild, fly larvae are a natural part of the diet for fish, reptiles, birds, and amphibians. Spikes are just as irresistible as waxworms!
Great for Birds & Fishing:
Wild birds love spikes — they fit in most feeders. Anglers also use them year-round on small hooks or jigs. Originally a winter ice-fishing bait, spikes are now praised as one of the best baits available.

Blue bottle spikes/pupae
Was my first time ordering these through abdragons, my usual seller was out. These are hands down the best blue bottle spikes I have ever received. They are super healthy and active. It’s very nice to have them delivered before they pupate so it’s easier for me to keep track of when they hatch for my spiders!
