Eww larvae - that's certainly the first thing many of you might have thought when looking at the cover picture. And disgust is a good thing. It triggers a biological protective function, originally intended to prevent us from eating spoiled food. The fear of insects, on the other hand, is usually instilled. If our parents have a problem with them, we also develop a strong aversion. But actually, insects are a miracle of nature - really fascinating creatures. I was able to learn this during my doctorate at ETH, where we successfully used insect larvae as an alternative feed in poultry nutrition. Larvae suddenly became an essential part of my life and led me to my current job – and somehow my own aversion has turned into a passion!
