Those are BSF larvae (black soldier flies), an excellent protein source for the chickens! I breed them as a treat for my girls. The flies only last a couple of days, long enough to breed and lay eggs, and they don't require more than poop cleanings from the coop for sustenance. So as flies go they are not a nuisance at all. Google them. They are free for the asking!
