The researchers found that in some Ruspolia differens, up to 60% of their weight was fat, while insects typically contain only 1030% fat. The fatty acid profile of lab-reared insects can be very different from those living in the wild.
We were able to modify the fatty acid composition of Ruspolia differens by making modifications to their feed at the end of their life-span, says Lehtovaara.
In other words, it is possible to use regular feed in the early stages of their development and to
