The National reported yesterday that the Insect Farming and Trading Agency in Bulolo closed its doors last week, leaving many uncertain about why. Reportedly, it was relocated to the Rainforest Habitat, but the article leaves that as vague. The agency has been in business since 1978, acting as a conduit for the dead stock trade in insects, certifying species before they are exported for use in private collections and scientific research. Hopefully they are simply relocating and not disbanning. Anyone know?
