The third segment will dealing with a wide taxonomical review on the order Diptera that have medical importance. In the fourth segment the foraging behaviour of two ant species has been revealed. In the fifth segment you will gain knowledge about nutraceuticals and medicinal insects that is yet a very less explored field. In the sixth segment we have tried to put some lights on the edible insects of Latin American countries, which will followed by a discussion on a very special group of Mexican edible hemipteran: The Jumiles. The last chapter of this segment will disclose nutrients and anti-nutrients of a potential food insect from India.
