Composting

Soldier flies? East Texas


I started a big ole outdoor on the ground pile. Consists of vegetable waste, grass clippings, and shredded cardboard. I don’t ever put meat in it, not because I’m against it I just don’t want all the critters tearing my pile up. Thursday our deep freeze went down so I dumped some spoiled meat maybe 30ft or more feet away from the pile then added a ton of frozen vegetable to my pile. The pile is getting hot again and now has become a hub of insect life. I’ve got house flies, maybe a yellow jacket or two, and this insect I’m posting a picture of for identification. I think it’s a soldier fly, but it’s not all black. I’m in east Texas for ref.
