Good day, dear forumchane!
I've read articles about edible insects:

And then there's

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insects_as_food
And I asked myself: what is it really possible to grow at home (shed, pantry, basement, garage, balcony) and eat from insects?
From environmental and economic considerations, it is clear that the insect should be herbivorous, it is not profitable to grow carnivores.
- Madagascar and Cuban cockroaches disappear because of aesthetics (my girlfriend and mother are negative about them).
"earthworms - for the same reason.
I have experience in growing butterflies from caterpillars, dragonfly larvae, tarantula and crossbill spiders, earwigs, black garden ants, a little wasp, neocardine shrimp, earthworms (for fishing in a bucket of leaf humus), Cuban and Madagascar cockroach-at home and in a shed / garage.
I know how to take care of bees (I help my neighbor-grandmother in the country).
From shellfish: I tried to eat grape snail and toothless, but I didn't like the taste of both - like rubber with a peculiar taste. In the aquarium kept ampulyarii and coils.
The choice fell on silkworms and crickets.
What do you recommend? Maybe what specific types?
Recommendations? How to grow it?
