Entomofagi

Entomofagi (dari bahasa Yunani ἔντομον éntomon, "serangga", dan φᾰγεῖν phagein, "makan") adalah konsumpsi serangga sebagai makanan. Telur serangga, larva, pupa dan serangga dewasa telah dimakan oleh manusia sejak jaman prasejarah dan berlanjut sebagai bahan nutrisi manusia di jaman modern.^[1]

Aktifitas memakan serangga oleh manusia adalah hal umum dalam kebudayaan di kebanyakan wilayah di dunia, yang meliputi Amerika Utara, Tengah dan Selatan; dan Afrika, Asia, Australia dan Selandia Baru. Lebih dari 1,000 spesies serangga diketahui telah dimakan di 80% negara-negara di dunia.^[2]
