No. because there are many machines that prevent the insects to live in the milling process, like examples the use of sieves and the Infestation destroyer which separates the insects to the flour and crash out the eggs of the insects respectively...
Do insects expell gas?
Insects do indeed pass gas. Animals that pass gas do so because of microorganisms, such as bacteria, which help aid the digestion of food. These organisms break down the the complex chemicals in food, into simpler chemicals that the body can then use for nourishment. Gas can be one of the byproducts of this digestive process. Insects do not have as many of these microorganisms as other animals, like cows for example, but they do still rely on these little organisms to assist the digest their food. Therefore gas is one of the natural products produced and it must be expelled from the body.

Is insects a producer or consumers?
Insects are always consumers because they must consumefood in order to obtain energy. Insects commonly eat plants, other insects, or dead animals. Some insects are even parasites, meaning that they feed off of a living organism without killing it. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are the only producers because they use the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis to produce their own energy. Insects can be primary consumers (organisms that eat producers such as plants), secondary consumers (organisms that eat primary consumers), or even tertiary consumers (organisms that eat secondary consumers).
In earthworms digested proteins are converted to new proteins by the process of?
Digested proteins are converted to new proteins by the process of synthesis in earthworms. Earthworms will feed on a large variety of decaying organic matter as well as manure, compost, and shredded cardboard, wood, or papers.
If Earthworms have a cuticle why do they not undergo ecdysis?
Earthworms in the class oligochaeta, which is in the phylum annelida. Ecdysis occurs in the phylum arthropoda. My guess is that earthworms' cuticles undergo a process closer to our skin's than ecdysis.
How do earthworms help farmers?
Earthworms fertilize the soil because they are detritivites, meaning that they eat dead matter in the soil as they move and turn it into nutrients. Earthworms eat soil and excrete soil quite quickly. What the earthworm excretes fertilizes the soil and helps the farmer for planting and growing crops. It helps because it drags down nutrients from rotting leaves, food etc. and fertilizes the soil during the process. They also create air spaces in the soil (aerate it) which helps the roots take up oxygen for photosynthesis.
