1. A method of processing insect larvae comprising the steps of:
anaesthetising the insect larvae by cooling, wherein the insect larvae are stored in cold water before or after the anaesthetising step, followed by
cutting the insect larvae into pieces to effect destruction of a nervous system of the insect larvae while the insect larvae are anaesthetized.
