Insects Compared

In our initial research, we quickly realized there are few resources that compare farming different types of insects so we decided to create a simple set of infographics utilizing the sources listed in each one. These graphics provide a glimpse of some of the benefits and challenges of raising each species. We also have attached links to raising other species we considered but ruled out due to the difficulty of raising those particular insects captively and inexpensively.  

 

Check out our resources page for more information on insect farming, insects as a protein source, and more.
