Between 1958 and 1962, Chairman Mao initiated the "Four Pests" campaign, against rats, flies, mosquitos, and sparrows.

When the Chinese population went after the Eurasian tree sparrow, they pretty much wiped it out. The resulting explosion in the insect population, particularly of locusts, was a major factor in causing the Great Chinese Famine, which killed between 25 and 40 million people.

I’ve seen a suggestion to use maggots from harvested road-kill as chicken feed.

The suggestion included an admonition not to do this near inhabited buildings.

Probably no more efficient disease vector than Chinese flies.

“Did you want flies with that?”

Larval feces? Uhh, no. Larva in any form, wriggling and alive or freeze-dried? Sure, maybe as waste management, maybe even to remove dead skin from burn victims, but never, never on my dinner plate or sneaked into my granola bars.
Bugs are already being used to feed caged pets such as lizards, snakes and turtles.

The EU will allow insect protein as feed in fish farms

Thank God the fish finally have government permission to eat insect protein.

Soldier flies are good for compost piles/bins, especially if you throw protein scraps in it. If I recall the larvae supposedly bite, these aren’t like regular house fly maggots. The adult flies are harmless and live only a few days. They sort of look like little black bees more than house flies.

Herding flies sounds like a tough job.

Not something I would attempt even in my youth.

You’d be surprised about the relatively large percentage of “insect parts” are permitted in our food.
