Abstract
The invention relates to the rearing of insects, especially for the therapeutic application of the secretion of fly larvae (maggots). The eggs of the flies are stored and/or transported in a container under conditions that inhibit their development. For application, the eggs are removed from the development-inhibiting conditions and placed under conditions in which they can be reared and fed so that the maggots hatch out, grow and secrete the secretion to be applied.
