Remind me again how you got them. Did you buy them or grow your own? If you grew them, what kind of flies are they? Bluebottles (the kind I use), greenbottles and house flies all sink. If you grew them yourself, maybe you have something else. :confused: Can you post a pic of some of them?
Here's something else to consider: what bedding are you storing them in? I use yellow corn meal. Among other things, the corn meal helps to "degrease" the maggots. Anything that small with grease on it will tend to float.
P.S. I saw your post on "Maggotdrowning". groundhog gives some advice similar to mine.
