Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for processing insect larvae in an ethical manner and without imposing unnecessary stress on them. The method involves anaesthetising the insects by cooling and then cutting them, thereby destroying the nervous system of the insects. Thus, an energy-saving method of processing insects with minimal stress is provided.
