Ecosystem Services of Insects | Insects comprise the most diverse group of multicellular organisms in the planet Earth, which provide several ecosystem services like pollination, pest control (bio-control), decomposition, transference of energy through food chain etc. In addition, insects are widely used today as human edible items and ingredients of fish-feed, turtle-feed, livestock, etc. In this paper we focus on the vital ecosystem services provided by insects with special reference to their services in the domain of human food. Our research stands on the high nutritional value of insects preferably protein which ranges between 13% – 77%. Our paper has two-fold goals namely documentation of selective ecosystem services of insects and highlighting the edible value of insects. In this paper we have intentionally excluded the value of commercially produced insectderived products like honey, wax, silk, shellac, etc. rather our main focus is to highlight the nutritional value of insects which is the most demanding subject to feed the rapidly rising population in the present world.
