House Cricket (IMAGE)
Caption
In North America, the house cricket (Acheta domesticus) is one of the few insects commonly raised for human consumption. Whole, dried crickets can be consumed directly or added to recipes, but more often they are processed into powder form and used as a protein or flour substitute. A new special issue of the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, published September 11, 2019, showcases a collection of the latest research on insect agriculture for food and feed.
