Thanks, Vasco! Abraham’s post covers many more farmed insects than BSF and mealworms. (For instance, the lower end of his farmed cochineal estimate is 4.6T deaths annually.) When you include those other species, I think the “rounding error” claim becomes more plausible. (Sorry not to be clear in the post: I probably gave the impression that I was only thinking of the standard “insects as food and feed” species.)
