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.
