Nig. J. Entomol. 33: 17 -21 (2017) ABSTRACT: The act of eating insects (entomophagy) has been on the increase due to their medicinal and nutritional importance. This study examined the sexual differences in the nutritive value of adult variegated grasshopper, Z0110CCruS variegatus. The proximate composition (crude protein, carbohydrate, fat, crude fibre. and ash), mineral profile (Na, Ca>, Mg", and Fe», vitamin (A, BI, Bc' and C), anti-nutrient (alkaloid. antraquinone, flavonoid, saponin, and tannin) and heavy metal contents (Cd2~.,Cu>,Ni2+, Pbcc, and Zn'") of 5-day old adult male andfemaleZonocerus were analysed by standard methods. Female Z. variegatus had significantly higher o, = 0.05) crude protein, ash, fibre and carbohydrate than the male. Anti-nutrients and heavy metal contents ofthe adultZol1ocerusvaried from 0.21 0-8.82% and O.113-1.264mgIlOOg, respectively, with the female having higher values. Adult female Z. variegatus is thus more nutritious than the male.
