Recently, biotechnology has acquired large scales as promising areas of science that study the possibilities of using living organisms, systems or products of their vital activity to solve technological problems. The object of the study is the American species of fly - the Black Lion (Hermetia illucens). Analysis of literature sources will allow to determine the optimal conditions for the growth, development and reproduction of the species in artificially created laboratory conditions. The insect has gained wide popularity due to the highly efficient bioconversion of various solid organic waste, as well as the high nutritional value of the larvae, which can be used in feeding farm animals and aquaculture. However, this is far from the entire spectrum of the fly's uses. The fly larva is distinguished by its ability to absorb almost any biowaste. As a result, a complex of substancesaccumulates in the body, the percentage of which depends on the diet. The larva contains ~40% amino acids, which have a beneficial effect on the growth and development offarm animals and birds and confirm the possibility of using dry larvae as a feed additive. The black lion is a fly of great scientific and practical interest.
