Table 1.

Projection of amount of waste and eggs needed in order to produce 100 metric tons of black soldier fly larvae using industrial large-scale data versus benchtop small-scale data

	L^a	S^b	% Difference
Amount of Waste (metric ton)	431	442	2.6%
Amount of Eggs^c (kg)	20.1	25.7	27.9%

^aL = 83.1% survivorship, larval size = 0.15 g each, conversion rate = 23.2%.

^bS = 64.8% survivorship, larval size = 0.15 g each, conversion rate = 22.6%.

^cEach gram of black soldier fly egg contains 40,000 individuals (Cammack, unpublished data).
