Are humans the “center of the universe”?  Do you believe that the species “homo sapiens” is the dominant life form on Earth?  Are humans created “in the image of god”?  Factually, if god looked like the most numerous species on Earth, god would be an insect!

There are more than 200 million insects for each human on the planet. The world holds 300 pounds of insects for every pound of humans.  At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.

It has long been recognized and documented that insects are the most diverse group of organisms (on Earth), meaning that the numbers of species of insects are more than any other group.  In the world, some 900 thousand different kinds of living insects are known. This representation approximates 80 percent of the world’s species. Most authorities agree that there are more insect species that have not been described (named by science) than there are insect species that have been previously named. Conservative estimates suggest that this figure is 2 million, but estimates extend to 30 million.”

However, as far as human survival is concerned, all of humanity could easily be fed using insects as food.  Insects have more nutritional value for humans and livestock than most foods and are abundant and inexpensive to produce!
