First sentence: Insects that are reared on artificial diets are used in many programs: as agents of biological control and sterile insect technologies (Knipling, 1979), as feed for other animals (Versoi and French, 1992), as bioreactors for production of pharmaceuticals and other recombinant proteins (Hughes and Wood,1998), as food for people (DeFoliart, 1999).
