Hermetia illucens larvae dominate insect-based feed production. Their uniqueness lies in their rapid growth and rich chemical composition. Products derived from Hermetia are exceptionally well studied – as confirmed by numerous scientific publications across various animal species. Other insects that may be used in animal feed include: the housefly (Musca domestica), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus), house cricket (Acheta domesticus), banded cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus), Jamaican field cricket (Gryllus assimilis), and silkworm (Bombyx mori).
