John, do you know your climate zone there? In the US, BSF are native at 
least through Zone 7, though the northern edge of their range is really 
not "nailed down" with any certainty--folks north of 7 often find they 
have an ambient population to work with. I haven't done much research in 
BSF in other contries, other than learning that they are common in the 
tropics/sub-tropics, hence well suited to bioconversion there.
