   I’m wondering how much CO2 is emitted in the process of “farming” enough to eat of such things as mealworms etc.

   Maybe they should start making Girl Scout Cookies out of beetle larvae or something.

   Bugs eat vegetation to form protein and would also produce the same gases per unit of protein that mammals and being a less developed species that may be less adapted or less conservative it is possible that the bugs would produce more per unit than equal amounts of meat. Domestic animals were breed to produce maximum food and bugs were not.
   This article is basically based on WAGs and my answer is not much better! 😉
   Bug excrement makes good fertilizer! I have lost of earth worms in my garden areas and they also make good fish bait! 🙂 Crickets are also a good bait in these parts!
