What is entomophagy?
Entomophagy is the practice of eating insects, including arachnids (tarantulas) and myriapods (centipedes).
Why eat bugs?
Insects have served as a nutritional, tasty and safe food source for people for tens of thousands of years, all over the planet. Today insect eating is rare in the developed world, but eating insects is a common practice in over 13 countries. Insects remain a popular food in many developing regions of Central and South America, Africa, Australia and Asia. It’s only a matter of time till Eurocentric based cultures, like the United States, Canada and Europe catch on
How many insects are edible?
There are an estimated 1,462 species of recorded edible insects according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
How nutritional are they?
they tend to be high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Let’s take the cricket as an example:
100 grams of cricket contains: 121 calories, 12.9 grams of protein, 5.5 g. of fat, 5.1 g. of carbohydrates, 75.8 mg. calcium, 185.3 mg. of phosphorous, 9.5 mg. of iron, 0.36 mg. of thiamin, 1.09 mg. of riboflavin, 3.10 mg. of niacin and .05% fat. ??
Compare that with 100 grams of ground beef, which, although it contains more protein, about 23.5 g. to be exact, it has 288.2 calories and an enormous amount of fat, in fact 21.2 grams worth!
Lou Sorkin, Advisor for Insects Are Food, would like to add that like any food, how you prepare them can change their status from healthy to not so healthy. Deep-frying them or using them only as a novelty in a sugared or chocolate coating might be tasty, but then you're eating a junk-food preparation, albeit a tasty one.
The difference however between a regular chocolate chip cookie and one made with crickets is that the one made with crickets has a lot more protein! It’s a no-brainer to choose the chocolate chip cookie with crickets (or as entomophagists call them, “chocolate chirp” cookies) over any other brand!
What do insects taste like?
We here at Insects Are Food all have slightly different answers to this question because of our individual taste buds and taking into consideration the fact that the ingredients used in each recipe, naturally has the potential to influence and enhance the taste of the insect.
Dave Gracer, Advisor for Insects Are Food, has an answer that covers both sides of the coin:
“One kind of answer deals with the details – dry-toasted cricket tastes
palm grub like bacon soup with a chewy, sweet finish. Weaver ant pupae have practically no flavor, while the meat of the giant water bug is, astonishingly, like a salty, fruity, flowery Jolly Rancher.
The other kind of answer is more theoretical and conceptual: often, insects taste the way that people expect them to. If insects were delicious then we’d all know it and we’d eat them, since we like delicious food. Whereas if insects are perceived, however incorrectly as disgusting, the chances that they’ll be deemed delicious are pretty low.”
Who and what cultures eat bugs?
The Old Testament encouraged Christians and Jews to consume locusts, beetles, and grasshoppers. St. John the Baptist is said to have survived on locusts and honey when he lived in the desert. In Ghana during the spring rains, winged termites are collected and fried, roasted, or made into bread. In Cambodia tarantulas are eaten and are one of the more popular foodstuffs sold to tourists.
In South Africa the insects are eaten with cornmeal porridge. In China beekeepers are considered virile, because they regularly eat larvae from their beehives. Gourmands in Japan savor aquatic fly larvae sautéed in sugar and soy sauce and candied grasshoppers, known as inago, are also a favorite cocktail snack. And in the highlands of Japan many of the elders enjoy wasp crackers.
De-winged dragonflies boiled in coconut milk with ginger and garlic is a delicacy in Bali. Grubs are savored in New Guinea and aboriginal Australia. In Latin America cicadas, fire-roasted tarantulas, and ants are prevalent in traditional dishes. One of the most famous culinary insects, the agave worm, is eaten on tortillas and placed in bottles of mezcal liquor in Mexico. For Most People, Eating Bugs Is Only Natural by Sharon Guynup and Nicolas Ruggia, National Geographic Channel, July 15, 2004
Where can I purchase safe insects for eating?
One may purchase a variety of insects at any local and trusting pet store. Any pet store that sells food for reptiles should sell crickets and mealworms. There is also an assortment of online vendors. Any online search will bring up several vendors, mostly cricket and worm farms, but a more in-depth search should harvest more insect vendors. We provide a list below. Contact the folks below and tell ‘em you saw their link on Insects . and if you find any good ones please let us know.

Can you eat bugs collected from in and around your home?
People who know their insects and the care needed to harvest them from the “wild,” can collect bugs from local areas such as one’s yard, local parks, woodlands, in and along streams and rivers or even on the beach. Otherwise they should only be purchased from reliable and trusted sources.
are there any we shouldn’t eat?
Bugs are safe to eat as long as you purchase them from a reliable source or raise them yourself. You do not want to take bugs from the wild because you don’t know what sort of pesticides or other chemical sources they’ve come into contact with. A good rule of thumb to follow is to avoid eating any brightly colored, hairy or spiny bugs, as they are likely to be poisonous. Most caterpillars are similarly inedible. In all cases of food consumption, a safe and reliable source equals a safe and healthy diet.
What is the most popular insect to eat?
It appears crickets are one of the more popular insects to eat. It is one of the easiest to raise, prepare and cook. They’re very inexpensive to raise and easy to maintain. They’re also highly nutritious and tasty. Mealworms and silkworms are also very popular. It would make for an interesting project for someone to find out which bugs are indeed the most popular to eat. We’d love to hear the responses.
What is a bamboo worm?
A bamboo worm is the pupa of the grass moth, from the Crambidae family of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). They are quite variable in appearance, the nominal subfamily Crambinae taking up closely folded postures on grass-stems where they are inconspicuous, while other subfamilies include brightly colored and patterned insects, which rest in wingspread attitudes.
Local people throughout Thailand and other regions ranging from the Amazon to China, collect &bamboo worms,& which are the pupae of a common species of moth endemic to that region. The moths lay their eggs in a lower segment of the bamboo and the worms eat their way up segment by segment. When they are ready to emerge, they climb back down to the segment where they were born and eat through the wall of the bamboo. Local people know when this cycle occurs and make cuts in the bamboo to extract the worms.
What e is it an actual worm?
Great question! A mealworm is not an actual worm at all, but rather the larva of a Mealworm Beetle or Darkling Beetle, also known scientifically as, Tenebrio Molitor.
How do I prepare bugs for consumption?
First off, insects should only be purchased from reliable sources and kept fresh as possible. Prior to preparing your live insects for a meal, place them inside a storage bag and keep them in the refrigerator between a half hour and an hour up until the time you are ready to use them. Refrigeration will not kill insects, but just slow down their metabolism, prohibiting their movement when removed from the refrigerator.
Some people place them in a pot of boiling water for about two minutes ensuring cleanliness. They can be used in any number of recipes without boiling so long as they’re cooked, i.e. roasted, sautéed, fried, etc. Any insect after boiling and/or cooking can be stored in your freezer for later use much like any other food.
Are insects kosher?
We are asked this question quite a bit and the answer is both yes and no. Certain insects are ok to eat according to G-d as it is written in Leviticus, however this does not by virtue make them what we refer to today as “kosher.”
After extensive research the answer is best supported by a passage from the book: “The Diet of John the Baptist,” by Mohr Siebeck. In the chapter titled: “From Leviticus to Moses Maimonides: Locust Eating in Jewish Literature and the Ancient Near East,” pg 41, the author writes:
With regard to the eating of locusts/grasshoppers, Leviticus 11 allows the Israelites to consume four different kinds of ‘leaping’ insects:
[20] All winged insects that walk upon all fours are detestable to you. [21] But among the winged insects that walk on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to leap on the ground. [22] Of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, the bald locust according to its kind, the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind. But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you. (Lev 11:20-23) 1
There are Jews as well as Moslems (we at Insects Are Food know them personally) who eat crickets and grasshoppers because they recognize the passage from Leviticus as a claim for being kosher and halal.
Can vegetarians eat insects?
It depends entirely on the individual, based on one’s adherence to the definition of the term. Vegetarianism is the practice of following a diet that excludes meat, fish, shellfish, sea animals and poultry. The popularity of vegetarianism grew during the 20th century as a result of nutritional, ethical, environmental and economic concerns. Eating insects would no doubt support a vegetarian’s outlook, which would lead one to believe that perhaps there are vegetarians who do indeed eat insects. But again it depends entirely on the individual. A vegan on the other hand would not eat an insect.
How can I become more involved in entomophagy?
Gain knowledge and insight on how eating insects is a nutritional and sustainable food resource. Learn how to handle, prepare and cook with bugs. Start cooking and feeding your friends while promoting the environmental, ecological, economical, and health benefits to entomophagy. Share your knowledge and courage with others and basically just practice what you preach. Or better yet, put your money where your mouth is. Reach out to others. Create a blog. Read our entire site.
Can I raise my own insects?
Here are a few sites that explain in detail how to raise your own crickets and mealworms:

Can I make money with my involvement in entomophagy?
In short, yes you can make money. There is however as in anything in life, no guarantees, but we at Insects Are Food believe strongly that entomophagy is an incredibly inspiring untapped market and industry. On a more general level, let’s face it, one can make money at anything so long as there’s commitment, direction, a well thought out business plan and a trusted individual with the most expertise and knowledge of the market/industry in charge of making final decisions. With that said, the multi-faceted potential businesses with respect to entomophagy amount to relatively new and risky opportunities.
With the proper guidance, advice and monetary support system, the risks involved, ranging from financial and legal to health and safety can be corralled and controlled. Insects Are Food aims to serve as a portal for online networking. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have about making money with entomophagy and our staff will do its best to offer professional advice and guidance and connect you with the right people. Last but not least, please keep in mind, as with anything we do in life, you must ultimately trust your gut instinct in all matters daring.【图文】英语趣味谜语_百度文库

What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away. But what if that insect is a ladybug (瓢虫)? It is possible that you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign. A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good. The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects. It’s the baby ladybug. When the baby ladybugs hatch (孵化), they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealy bugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. They completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid (液体). Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away.So the next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be doing. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.1.
Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to
A. add more ladybugs to area
B. report the weather for farmers
C. act as a lucky sign of good crops
D. save orange trees by eating insects2.
From the passage we know that
A. it’s the adult ladybug that eats most of the harmful insects
B. ladybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birds
C. ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselves
D. the baby ladybug mainly eats mites, aphids, mealybugs, and oranges3.
The underlined phrase “stand up to” most probably means
B. support

备课中心教案课件试卷下载What Insect Eats Roses?
At least 10 insect pests attack roses. The Texas A&M University Extension Service says they are divided into two general groups: sucking insects that insert their mouthparts into leaves, buds, stems and canes to suck out the plants' vital juices, and chewing insects that eat plant tissue from leaves, stems, flowers, buds and roots.
Among the most damaging sucking insect pests are aphids and spider mites. Aphids are tiny -- about 1/8 inch -- yellow-green soft-bodied sucking insects that live in groups underneath leaves or on buds or growing tips. Aphids reproduce weekly, so populations can explode quickly. Spider mites are another major rose pest. They are less than half the size of aphids, resemble mini-spiders and come in red, yellow and green shades. They prefer the underside of leaves, where they suck the sap from the leaf veins. Like aphids, spider mites reproduce weekly so populations can grow fast.
Whiteflies and rose midges are tiny, white, soft-bodied flies. The winged adults look like tiny snowflakes as they flutter around plants. Whitefly adults and larvae both suck the sap from the underside of leaves. Rose midge larvae suck out juices from buds and blooms. Rose scale insects are another pest. Adults form a hard light-gray scaly shell on stems. They attach themselves to tender shoots when young and stay there for life, sucking plant juices. Heavily infested stems and canes may become totally encrusted with ugly scales.
Chewing insect pests include several species of leaf-eating and bloom-eating beetles, such as brown June bugs, brown rose chafers, brown Fuller rose weevils, green/bronze Japanese beetles, green rose-leaf beetles and spotted yellow cucumber beetles. Thrips are very tiny golden-yellow winged insects that feed mainly on buds and blooms. Several different moth caterpillars feed on rose leaves, including leafrollers, leaf tiers and raspberry horntails. Other chewing rose pests include grasshoppers and leaf-cutter bees. Roots, stems and leaves can be chewed up by white grubs, snails and slugs.
Signs that your roses are infested with pests include wilting of par holes or dark spots severed stems, malfor and a shiny sticky substance called honeydew excreted by aphids and whiteflies that breeds a damaging black sooty mold. The University of Illinois Extension Service says infestations can be minimized by selecting pest-resistant varieties and keeping them healthy with proper site selection, good soil preparation, correct spacing and vigilant maintenance. Natural pest controls include spraying high pressure water from a garden hose to knock bugs off your plants, hand-picking beetles, applying soap sprays and encouraging natural enemies of pests. Severe infestations can be controlled with insecticides such as malathion, orthene or dicofol.

Life Made Easier.Established Cricket Bar Companies & The New Chirps on The Block
Insects have been a staple diet food for many cultures for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Only recently have we in Western society been introduced to products containing insects. Specifically cricket flour as a primary ingredient in cricket flour protein bars.Two companies leading the insect protein bar charge are Exo () and Chapul (). Each company providing their own take on cricket bars and equally different is their startup stories.Pat Crowley, a hydrologist, raft guide, and explorer founded Chapul in 2012 with college roommate Dan O’Neil. Crowley started exploring insect protein after hearing a TED talk by Dr. Marcel Dicke on entomophagy. Crowley’s concern, the overconsumption of freshwater in the agriculture industry. By introducing insects as a source of protein humans can reduce the massive amounts of water used in irrigating farms that feed the hundreds of millions of livestock each year.The Chapul energy bar Kickstarter project was successfully funded back in July 2012, making Chapul the first kid on the cricket flour protein bar block.Crowley points out the phenomena of sushi bars in the U.S.
These restaurants were not well received by most Americans in the 1960’s and 1970’s, many saw raw fish as bait.
Sushi Bars have since exploded in popularity and can be found in most every city. He see’s Chapul and insect consumption in a similar position.Chapul offers their cricket bars in three distinct flavors:Aztec Bar (Dark Chocolate, Coffee, & Cayenne)Chaco Bar (Peanut Butter & Chocolate)Thai Bar (Coconut, Ginger, & Lime)Exo co-CEO’s Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis both met at Brown University where they came up with the idea for their brand of cricket protein bars.Lewis, frustrated by the disparity in taste and nutritional value of existing bars, had been working on a paleo-friendly protein bar when Sewitz suggested using crickets as the source of protein. Sewitz got the idea from conversations on the environmental benefits of insects that followed a MIT conference he attended.It was when they received positive taste results from protein bars formulated with Lewis’ recipe and crickets they received alive, froze, slow roasted and ground into powder that they decided to curtail post-college job plans.July of 2013 is when they launched a Kickstarter campaign hitting their $20,000.00 goal within the first 3 days. By the end of the campaign they had raised $55,000.00.Clearly the success of the Kickstarter campaign and subsequent positive press coverage were clear indicators to Greg and Gabi that the Western world was ready or at least willing to try edible insects.Exo offers their cricket bars in four distinct flavors:Cacao NutBlueberry VanillaPeanut Butter & JellyApple CinnamonIs the Cricket Protein Bar Market Getting Crowded?Progressive health conscious consumers will soon have two more cricket flour protein bar companies from which to choose.Founders Búi A?alsteinsson and Stefán Thoroddsen started Crowbar Protein (), an Icelandic based company in June of 2014.
Búi, a product designer inspired by a UN report on edible insects, built an at-home ‘Fly Factory’.
The factory provided a ripe environment for growing and harvesting of Black Soldier fly larvae and the resulting waste.The media attention gathered by this prototype machine further convinced Búi of the need for commercially available insect food products.
At which time he recruited Stefán and formed Crowbar Protein with initial seed funding of $16,000.00 from Startup Reykjavik ().In April of 2015, Crowbar Protein launched their Kickstarter campaign to gather further funding for their Jungle Bar cricket protein bar.
Their funding goal is set at $15,000.00 (within the projects first 24 hours they have 43 backers and are funding at 20% ($3,080.00)).Crowbar has three flavors they are currently developing:Peanut Butter & White ChocolateWhite ChocolateCinnamon & ChocolateFinally we have Crobar. Yes, look closely at the spelling.
It is very close to the Icelandic startup name, Crowbar Protein.
As of March 2015, Crobar, a London U.K. based company, has launched their Kickstarter campaign.Crobar is attempting to reach a goal of $14,760.00. As of the writing of this article they were roughly $3,000.00 away from their goal with eight days remaining. Christine Spliid, a native of Denmark, competitive runner, and having studied Psychology and Business at Warwick University is jumping into the fray.Spliid’s idea for developing a cricket protein bar stems from difficulty in finding a healthy alternative to those energy bars that are high in sugar or use whey as their protein source.I was unable to find a website for Crobar, only a Facebook page.&Crobar mentions two flavors on their Kickstarter page. I can find only one at this time:Cocoa CrunchFlavor to be named laterAre We Witnessing an Edible Insect Revolution?I don’t know if we are full steam ahead yet, but we are getting close to ‘general public awareness’. At which point edible insects will no longer be a weird blip we read or see occasionally on news sites, but be mainstream.I think we are now in the early adoption phase by those ‘quirky’ health nuts (I am pointing the finger clearly at myself with this remark). Which will then be followed next by the gentle easing and acceptance into your average everyday health conscious individuals. Lastly, edible insects will be slip streamed into acceptance by the general population.My prediction, based purely on what I’ve been reading and studying about the Western adoption of entomophagy, for the last phase is still another 4-6 years away. Although if sites like this and others along with their social media counterparts continue to push and educate on the massive environmental benefits edible insects have on society, the process could optimistically be expedited by a year or two.Additionally, as companies like Chapul and Exo continue to develop edible insect based products and funded Kickstarter entomophagy campaigns bring new ideas to market, we could all be asking for cricket flour bread rather than white or wheat bread for our sandwiches sooner than we think.Let us know what you think the future holds for edible insects by heading over to our Twitter or Facebook page!

Cricket Flour Protein Bars – Fun Healthy Snacks for Kids?
Kids thoroughly enjoy grossing out their friends.
You know that, right?What about this, how much do you think they would love telling their friends that they’re eating insects?
Little Johnny will be the talk of the school when he pulls out his PB&J protein bar, tells his buddies it made of crickets, then proceeds to chomp down on the bar licking his lips until the very last delicious bite.
That is exactly what happened to my son last year during lunch at his middle school. Continue reading

Insects for Food – It Makes Sense
In the early days of mankind, hunting and gathering was the main means of providing food. As small gatherings of people became villages and towns, this way of obtaining food quickly became unsustainable and people began keeping livestock and growing crops to keep up with the demand. This may be a very simple and brief explanation of how farming came about, but is an important milestone in how humans can stop consuming the planets natural resources to find more sustainable ways of living.Farming, as a means of producing food, has been feeding the world to the point of excess for thousands of years, but it seems that humanity is once again on the precipice of requiring a new solution. The most viable resolution to food crises that are popping up all over the world seems to be insects for food.Although insects have formed part of the diet of many societies to date – especially in South-East Asia and Africa – most westerners cannot stomach the thought of eating the planets greatest source of protein, insects. In fact U.S. News and World Report posted a recent article on Countries That Eat Bugs. The simple solution to this problem is to convert the inedible looking creatures into a more palatable form.

The Benefit and Effectiveness of Insect Protein
Proteins are essentially paramount for proper tissue and muscle development. They are the key body building blocks thus facilitate proper mental and physical health. Proteins are digested into amino acids that are essential for cell regeneration and tissue repair among many other benefits. It is for this reason why nutritionists advise us to ensure we take the recommended protein intake to remain strong and healthy. The best sources for proteins include lean meat, turkey, chicken, fish, mushrooms and insects among many others. You can also supplement your protein intake by taking insect protein supplements.Insect protein supplements are protein obtained from dried insects ground into powder. Grasshoppers, termites, ants, crickets, and the giant water bug are some of the most nutritious insects. Protein obtained from these insects is of a better quality than that from tuna or lean beef. Research shows that, 1 pound of termite meal provides the body with 30% more proteins than lean meat (1 pound) does. This is evidence enough showing insect protein supplements are indeed highly nutritive and effective. Continue reading
