Addressing global challenges with unconventional insect ecosystem services : Why should humanity care about insect larvae?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge: Mr Phil Duncan (‘Uncle Phil’) for invaluable mentorship on Australian Aboriginal culture and for authorizing the use of the dreamtime story in this paper. Dr Vera Williams Tetteh (‘Mom’) for countless discussions about the similarities of Latin American and African cultures and for showing me unshakable belief in the strength of those from discriminated cultures. Without these experiences, the broad perspective of this manuscript would never have been attained. I also acknowledge Mrs Anuska Nardelli for authorizing the use of Lonomia obliqua's photos and two anonymous reviewers and the editors for very helpful comments on the early versions of the manuscript.Peer reviewedPublisher PD
