    I'm using the eye sight method, I just pick larvae that have just started to make the "C" shape, I pick very small and almost translucent larvae.

    My first attempt I used larvae that was a little too old, and it didn't turn out very good. The second attempt I picked much smaller larvae and things went well. Now it's getting easy to pick the right age just by eye sight.

    Run up to Lowe's hardware and get yourself a small LED flash light, helps a lot.
