Myth vs edible insects 🦗

❌ “Gimmick”
🔬 House crickets are 65% protein (dry) & highly feed-efficient

❌ “Unsafe”
🔬 FSA: risk is low with proper hygiene, heat treatment & allergen labelling

❌ “Irrelevant to UK”
🔬 UK has an insect-farming research community for 10+ years

Join the UK's biggest celebration of insects and discover why these remarkable creatures matter so much.

Celebrate insects, nature and discovery with thousands of people taking part in #InsectWeek activities across the UK and beyond 🔽
